Cool, CA! Hey I grew up in Meadow Vista, not far away. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us. You've got my sub!

Can you add a Subject to the email?

Update: The new SDRConnect from SDRPlay works great on the MacMiniM4, no stuttering, and has a high-pass (PL) filter. There's a source patch for SDR++ mac scroll wheel on github. SDR++ still isn't working with SDRPlay on M4Mini. 3.14 API service runs for a few minute and locks up. 3.15 API doesn't work at all. RTLSDR+SDR++ works great. The SDRPlay guys are doing great work, helping the SDR++ developers.

Moved to macOS from Windows in 2012 and haven't looked back. I never could get SDR++ working with my RSP1B on my Mac (there are no drivers). I am using SDRconnect written by SDR Play who developed the RSPx devices. You're the second person in the past week who I've heard say they had to download the SLAB driver for the Icom radios. I used whatever driver comes on macOS for the USB device and have never had an issue. It usually comes up as ttyUSB0. I use the following programs with my M2 Max Mac Studio: Flrig and Fldigi ION2g WSJTX JS8Call (though I would love it if someone would port the 2.2.1-dev version to macOS) Pat using VARA with CrossOver. I have written a handful of scripts for Pat to: Start Pat, VARA, and Safari and navigate to localhost:8080 (I just cannot figure out how to get VARA to become an active window). Move any messages older than one day to the Archive directory and delete any messages from the Archive directory older than seven days. Kill Pat and VARA but not cleanly so I don't use this script often. I also have a script that changes Pat's config.json file to alternate between my amateur and SHARES call signs.

What are the Easter Eggs . . . . . .. . . .

Yeah, there's plenty of ham radio software for the Mac. One notable exception is software for Winlink. Well, there is, but you need to be a real computer geek to make it work. BTW, I'm mainly a Mac user although I do have a Windows laptop I use for the aforementioned Winlink mode. Congrats on getting the new Mac Mini. 73 and Happy New Year. Ivan VE7IVN

Very cool, glad I found your channel!!!

Welcome to the Mac world. I use one daily for work but stick with Linux for radio. Next up, you’ll buy an iPhone 😂

I don't want to be picky but there is no such thing as a free lunch here. A car charging circuit is more like 14.5V and that is why 14.2 might be seen on the battery. You can't have a 13.8V charging circuit and see a higher voltage on the battery. This video was about nothing! What was the SHOCKING TRUTH about power supplies?

Yep, there are some hoops, but the things work reasonably well. The big thing that bugs me is that every time I turn my radio off, and back on, is that the serial port device name changes. (I've got an FT-991A, probably using the same driver you mentioned). Setting up FLRig has helped me a little, as I only need to change it back in one place, but it is still annoying. I finally decided to try Windows out for digital radio stuff, and it has been more straightforward.

Congrats on getting a Mac. A straightforward way to close applications is Command + Q. I still teach Windows to high school students, but I am all Mac at home. Thanks for the informational video. 73s de W3CT

SSTV: I use Black Cat SSTV (paid app). You can run others through WINE, but I can't get them to pick up the USB ports reliably

Try using SDR Connect from SDR play to run your RSP, works really well on my MacBook Air M3

We have less choice than on a PC, but if you have the linux point of view, it's more easy to find the way. I use my SDRPlay (rasp1a) with SDRangel on my Mac, with SDRangel, we can decode DATV, it will be nice for the restart of HamATV in the ISS in 2025. SDRconnect works well too and is much simpler. Multiscan 3B for SSTV (a little), and Rumnlog as log. I have direwolf on my Mac but I don't use it, I use raspberry pi for that, and I connect to it via TCP, by the way QtermTCP works very well for access to my BBS/Node BPQ (F1UBL-2). Of course, WSJTX improved with my IC-705 (but the buttons don't change size on my side :) ). I'm taking a look at QTH for APRS actually, but I'm at the beginning.

I set up an old Macintosh Plus for packet this week, works great. Using MacTerminal into a PK232-MBX.

I have been using a Mac for ham radio for years. It’s just easier and I have the SDRPlay working with mine and FLDigi. It’s just simple.

What's your plan for a logger?

A quick mac hint - Look into homebrew for tool installation. It is a package manager for third party software.

I just got a MacBook for Xmas and am moving from windows. Been wanting to make the break from windows for years.Hope to get this going with my Ic705 soon. Thanks

I use Rumlog-ng for my logging. Its superpower is to sync your log in iCloud, so I can log offline on a mountain on my iPhone and come back and fix my typos on the desktop. No action to take to keep the two in sync. I'm researching and considering using sdr-control for my 705 on hilltops since I need an iPad for my digipi anyway.

Unfortunately the SSTV app requires another app called Cocoa PTT to, well, PTT it. Unfortunately it's not supported on Apple silicon. Why they don't just use FLRig like the rest of the world, we'll never know.

I keep hearing that folks are installing the Silicon Labs VCP drivers on MacOS. Similar to Linux, any recent MacOS version 'should' recognize Silicon Labs CP210x devices automatically. The Silicon Labs CP210x drivers have been built-in to MacOS since at least MacOS 11 (Big Sur). My Icom 7100, 7610, and 9700 are recognized immediately. The serial port naming may not be recognized when you look in the /dev directory using terminal, but they should show up as 'tty.usbserial-xxxx' and 'cu.usbserial-xxxx'. You can also look at the USB device tree using System Information in the Applications->Utility folder.

Congrats on the Mac and welcome to the club!

What do you use for time sync on a Mac? I'm used to using dimension 4 on Windows. I have a few old Mac mini's sitting around, so I think it wouldn't be bad to play around with them a bit.

Sent from my M1 mini - been doing mac for past 20 years. First version of linux installed was Debian 1.0 Way to go Craig!

Interesting to watch you progress though the transition. Everyone has their own experience. MAC user will talk about HAM app developers. Windows user will talk about HAM app developers, lol. Everything has a use case nothing seems to fit all uses cases.

I've got a dinosaur Mac Book 5.1 that's running Ubuntu 24.04 but I've been considering getting another SSD to run the older Mac OS for that version...

If you have a mic you can run Echolink using a program called Echoham that CAN be downloaded from the Apple App Store. I love working the DigiPi from my iMac browser.

Congrats on the new Mac. You will love it. Looking forward to seeing more videos on the Mac. BTW, the RTL-SDR works great with SDR++.

Now I can use my Mac! Awesome stuff Craig.

They keyboard shortcuts are pretty intuitive for Mac... Command + Q = Quit, Command + P = Print. The multi touch trackpad has some great functionality like switching virtual displays, showing all your windows, showing your desktop. I also recommend Alfred for the Mac... lots of automation available.

hello and congratulations for your work, do you think it will be possible in the future to have in digipi also a hotspot function for digital modes like dstar?!

My Mac is running Linux Mint!

You are going to love the Mac. I recommend Warp for your command line interface. I recommend Homebrew for some command line tools. VSCode works great on the mac for an IDE. And when you start an unsigned app for the first time. You can right click the app, then press the option key (or alt key for a winblows keyboard) to change the right click contextual menu to force the mac to open the app in question. And the windows key will be your command key. Now I am curious what "brews" you are going to come up with for the rest of us. Linux and Mac are like peas and carrots.

K8MRD was not here.

No Mac - just came for the Bumper Music. Rock on!

How do you set it up so it can auto tune and record a satellite pass.

Vere helpful video for a newb like myself.

Amazing work. Subbd, Patreon'd and will set up a Pi :) Grabbed a USB GPS and will try to set up for a portable backpack setup. Should be fun

Very cool

I'm not lucky, since few days, each time I see an interesting video, it's an automatic dubbing one, in bad french, with robot voice, and I can't understand nothing.

Nice, I was going to make a cable to be able to hook up the digpi to this rig's mic connector exactly to be able to send messages with aprsdroid. You saved me the trouble!! great video

Just set up DigiPi. Thank you sir! I have the ILI9486 screen and printed a case that requires a 180 deg screen rotation. Can't figure out how to rotate in the py files. The other 2 screens seem easy to figure out but not the larger one. Any idea how to rotate it?

Lid actually comes from the telegraph! Ops that had trouble with the code would put a snuff can lid on the sounder to hear things better. That was looked down on, a d that person was called a lid. Hope this helps. 73 de kd7cjo

For outside work, work uses the Nagoya NA-320A. It is one inch longer than the Nagoya NA-771. For inside work, the walkie talkies use the SRHF10. The Nagoya NA-320A is obviously the better of the two. Work operates on 151.82 Mhz

Dang. Got to reload. I think I'll use a Pi4.

I opened this video and I hear it in french, with horrible a robot voice. I don't understand why you did that, but I can't watch that, it's insane. The title is in bad french, the description is in bad french, and this robot voice... The result is that we will stop watching your video. Very bad idea.

Craig, what is the default username and password for digipi local log in?

Enjoy the videos, but the content is becoming repetitive. Try exploring other digital modes/speeds.

they released a firmwear update now which may be worth a new video. it now supports 32 channels and kiss tnc support
