Dunno about Parallels "many years ago," but there are no USB port fast
enough issues in the current Parallels that I am using.
Bill: Curious... why is it a "bad idea" using Windows 10 on the Mac? I
have not run into any issues in 6 months of daily usage, although I
admit that the only Windows app I use is the ELAD software.

Hey Saul. I’ve been using MacBooks of various vintages with Bootcamp and Win7
to run Perseus software for years. Works well. I went this route because
using Parellels, when I tried it many years ago, just couldn’t ‘emulate’ the
USB port fast enough to ‘keep up’ with the Perseus. There’s a good help
section on-line and the Bootcamp software is good about talking you through
installation.
Once thing you should keep in mind is that ‘newer’ MacBooks and MacOS will
force you into using Win 10 — bad idea! I’m not sure what Mac OS is the last
one to run Win 7 but there MAY be ways to work around it if you have a newer
OS. Google is your friend.

While on topic of SDRs, I want to get in the game for AM and FM. What's holding
me back is a decision about a computer. I want to dedicate a laptop to this (so
it can be used when I'm working, and also with a view to it being an emergency
backup for me at my Burnt River ON DX site in the event my work computer ever
has issues).
I used to use a PC but switched to Mac (PacBook Pro) a few years ago and am
much happier with it. I hate to buy a PC at this juncture. So a few questions:
1) Is there anything really hot coming down the pipe in the next month or two
that I should wait for?
2) What am I best to get in way of an SDR that would work with Masc?
3) If Mac is less advisable, will said SDR work off Windows for Mac?
