If you want to do digital modes you probably want a RigBlaster or  
similar.

Keyspan has the best mac compatibility.  There are cheaper usb to  
serial solutions but some can be problematical with macs.

> 3. What software do you use for operating the radio on the Mac? (Is

MacLoggerDX, and Mac memeory manager, both from DogPark
