[Ham-Mac] Yaesu 857 and Mac, what do I need?

[Richard Hemingway]

Hi Trygve,

I have a Mac G5 and have used it with both an Icom 756ProII and an 
Ten Tec Orion.  I mostly operate PSK.  I use a Keyspan serial to USB 
connector and I also use a SignaLink SL-1+, which works with an audio 
signal.  I have a RigBlaster but haven't tried using it with the Mac. 
I'm not sure that  you can.  The digital software I use is CocaModem 
by KokChen. http://homepage.mac.com/chen.  It is the best digital 
software I have used.  His e-mail address is:
Kok Chen <chen at mac.com>

I have had no trouble with the SignLink and like it better than when 
I used RigBlaster with my old PC.  BTW my wife's parents both came 
from Sweden and my family, long ago, is probably from Norway.  My 
wife's first language was Swedish and she is fluent in it.  I am 
pretty terrible. We had a wonderful trip to both countries back in 
1968.

Take care,

Dick, N5XRD
