Joel, I am using the TASCAM US-366 with both my K3 (dual receiver in diversity mode) and KX-3. I am running multiple instances of WSJT-X (rev 1.6). The TASCAM US-322 should work well also. Both are available at Amazon.com. TASCAM provides drivers for OS-X.
I believe newer models of these are the US-2x2 and US-4x4. You might be correct with your statement “Sonar U7 will not enable the buttons and volume adjustment in OS X”. I do not see any drivers for OS-X listed on the ASUS web page for the U7, nor does their manual indicate compatibility with OS X. 73 Bob Nobis - N7RJN n7...@nobis.net > On Dec 27, 2015, at 06:53, Joel Black <joel.b.bl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ed et al., > > I use OS X and have been looking at an upgrade from my E-MU 0204.
