Hi Phil,

No cookbook here, but I do have a MacBook Pro / Retina, WSJT-X, and MLDX and 
occasionally run my KX3 with them. A couple items to consider:

—> Strongly suggest running JTBRIDGE if you do not already have it. It 
interfaces very, very nicely between WSJT-X and MLDX. Allows, among other 
things, your completed WSJT-X QSOs to be automatically logged into MLDX.

—> You may run into issues where the audio from WSJT-X output is routed to your 
MacBook’s internal speakers instead of the external sound card - not a good 
thing. This is a problem that has been happening for several years sporadically 
to Mac users. It “may” be related to something Apple did to USB2 code. There 
have been several work-arounds posted. One is to try USB3 if your MacBook has 
it. Another is to set your MIDI output to 44,100 instead of 48,000. And 
another, the one I use, is a USB to Thunderbolt adapter. My external sound card 
is a Tascam US-125M with USB output. I got the adapter on Amazon and plug the 
sound card into the Thunderbolt adapter. Works great.
