Hi Bob,

Yes, I am running OSX 10.2.8 now and may upgrade to 10.3 some time in the
future. I have to dummy the Mac down to use the PK-232.  First I have a
Keystone Serial to USB adapter because the G4 does not have a serial port
and other adapters don't seem to work.  I had one that worked with OS9 but
was brain dead under OSX.  For software I run the old AEA MacRatt version
2.1 under OSX Classic mode. I really like the old Steve Fine version of
MacRATT and did not care for the AEA MacRATT III by someone else.

This stuff works great with the Kenwood TS-570D(G) and I just  logged
RTTY-DXCC QSO #110 last week.  All QSOs were made using MacRATT and the
PK-232 MBX.

Thanks for asking
