Brian, PowerSDR will not run natively on the MAC OS, and I don't think that due to the heavy MS dependence, will it until the New Console is ready for beta testing, projected first half of next year. Which according to Frank will be not be dependent on the same MS tools, and .NET1.1 requirement...
But there are some folks that have made their own Java interfaces and run the DSP (DttSP) on the Mac OS. Check out the Yahoo reflector group - dttsp-Linux . Also check out http:\\www.hamSDR.com (when it comes back up) They can help you recompile he DSP software, and maybe someone will allow you to use their Java based interface to run on the Mac.. Just a thought. -- 73, Dudley WA5QPZ Brian Lloyd wrote: > Yesterday was a personally frustrating day in that three of my good > students (all who have gotten their licenses, one who upgraded to > general even) are moving and will not be returning to our school in > the fall.
