Stephen, you are correct. When I decided to buy the new laptop (buy in July) there was nothing about this on the apple web site, but now there is a lot of info on other pages, and yes, it is a connector like on the iPhone. I will have to try to pick put some kind of adaptor to split this plug into two separate lines to connect to the K3, but it should work. There also is some kind of thunderbolt audio adapter, but I have to see what that is!
I bought the signalink in anticipation to figure out how to get it to work on my current mac (with both headphone and mic plugs) so I would already know how when I got the new mac. I know it should work because many use it--I just have to get this dense mind working on it! I will play with it a little more this weekend, but something is wrong because there is no input or output, and it keys the transmitter some times but doesn't un-key it. I will re-check the internal jumpers (but I think they are correct) and look for more advice this weekend.
Thanks for this and other advice--will let you know here my advances or lack thereof!
73, Scott AA0AA

>>>>>>A screen shot of mine would look similar to yours. The DXCC box, like yours is , I think always blank. The -1 appears in the log file, adif export, or in the log entry sent to Rumlog. It was suggested by someone that it might be a "faulty" link in my computer with Rumlog, but the -1 is present in adif files exported from fldigi. I will be able to play radio Wednesday night and can send you a screen shot if you like and a log exerp. I tried opening a new test log and the -1 is repeatable there so I can just make a couple of dummy entries to send.
