Re: [Elecraft] KIO3B audio into the K3?
In case anyone was wondering, I suspect this is a failing of Mac OS X and USB audio. After conversations with Mac and Apple developers about the state of USB audio as of Yosemite (and even worse, in El Capitan) I decided to use a different OS. I'm now running a brand-new $349 HP laptop and WSJT-X ran fine last night in Win 10 and Ubuntu. It's not an ideal choice, but having the audio quit in the middle of a conversation was a deal breaker. I could go on about OS X Bluetooth issues after Snow Leopard but that's a different off-topic story. On Mon, 4 Jan 2016, Hisashi T Fujinaka wrote: Odd.
