Macs in the Shack

I'm a newer Mac user and been looking for good amateur radio software. Here's a list what I've been using, in no particular order.

• ChronyControl - for accurate time keeping.

• QTH by W8WJB - fully featured APRS software.

• SDR-Control for ICOM - pricey, but useful radio control for the 7300 and more, has built in FT8/RTTY/PSK31/CW.

• HAMRS - easy to use multi-platform logging program.

• Serial 2 by DecisiveTactics- as advertised it will connect you Mac to anything.

• AntScope2- works great for connecting your RigExpert Antenna Analyzer.

And finally I can't wait for the new SDRConnect by SDRPlay. It will be a multi-platform software suite for their great SDR's. Currently I'm using CubicSDR which leaves a lot to be desired.

Here is a list of software I find useful in the shack:

• MacLoggerDX
• wsjt-x
• fldigi
• js8call
• MacWinKeyer
• KochMorse

Feel free comment with other Mac software that is useful in the shack.

I use a Mac for my shack computer. I’m sure others do as well. This community is for discussion of all things related to using a Macintosh for ham radio operations. Questions, answers and suggestions are all welcome.
