But it depends on what radio you have and what you want to do with your log file. The tqsl upload program is on the mac, and works like the PC version.Ī number of options exist.

The electronic QSL system developed and managed by ARRL. How about that DXCC award? How can I get me one of those.įor my QSL’ing, I am now using LOTW. Once again, written in a common language that lends itself to open source and cross platform, recently a UK ham has rebuilt the packages for mac, and while not 100% cross comparable, they do a pretty good job (you need to take some time to optimise them for your mac, not as simple as the PC plug and pray method), but they work! Give WSJT or WSPR a go!ĥ. What about that specialist weak signal, meteor, EME modes like WSJT and WSPR. This seems to be the goto sat tracking application most use, for Mac, the one I have used with great success is MacDoppler and yes, its expensive, but the support is great, and it works well.Ĥ. If you had a windows machine, you might just be using SATPC32. Ive used chirp to program a number of radios with success. if you have a radio you want to program, give it a whirl. I want to program my radio memory channels.ĬHIRP! its open source and cross platform, and while it does not program every radio, it works on many and most. PSK, RTTY, etc etc etcįLDIGI is the go to program for the multitude of digital modes today and its cross platform! The mac and windows versions are identical! no excuse for not trying a digital mode with that mac now.Ģ.

The below is some of my discoveries and solutions, many more exist I’m sure, if you have a better way, share please 😀ġ. Serial/com/control is not always seamless. Or via a virtual machine of choice, and while I have some success in virtual machines.

Macs have used an Intel CPU, so your mac can run windows natively. Not everything you would want to do is easy or simple on a mac, and some things don’t work at all, but for most things, you can find a mac equivalent and they often work and are better than their windows equivalent. This post is a pointer to some mac solutions for your ham radio exploits (or the ones I’ve (( Andrew VK3BQ)) discovered). So, you have a mac computer, but you are also into ham radio, they don’t mix, or do they?
