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](https://dogparksoftware.com/MacLoggerDX.html) - [wsjt-x](https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html) - [fldigi](https://sourceforge.net/projects/fldigi/) - [js8call](https://js8call.com) - [MacWinKeyer]() - [KochMorse](https://dm3mat.darc.de/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.
