[Ham-Mac] microham on a mac

[Jim Lee]

I use an IC-7000 and Buddipole with a Macbook Pro for camping.

What operating mode(s) are you trying to use?  Have you set up your 
antenna to resonate on the band(s) you operate on, or are you relying on 
the auto-tuner to do the matching?  Where does the Mac enter the 
picture, and what exactly are the problems you are having?
