There are a variety of reports on doing this ranging from it being impossible 
to no changes are required.  In my experience it runs perfectly and is a joy to 
use.  There is only one difference between using Apple Silicon and any other 
Mac.

My setup is:

KX3
Base configuration M1 Macbook
Apple thunderbolt to USB cable
Standard Elecraft USB cable for the KX3
Sabrent Sound Card dongle
Anker self powered USB hub
WSJT-X 2.2.2 for the Mac as downloaded from the WSJT website.

The only unusual requirement is that the instructions for changing the memory 
size given in the software instructions will not work for M1 Macs.  Instead you 
use the following commands in the terminal:

sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=104857600
sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=25600

The command

sysctl -a | grep sysv.shm

will verify that the change is made.  At the moment the above must be done on 
each reboot.

That's it, otherwise it works just as it does on an Intel Mac.   I have my 
serial port set for 38,400 baud, 8,2,none and am running full CAT control with 
rig split enabled.

It appears as of today, January 7, that the Fldigi folks are still working on a 
version that will work on Apple Silicon.  In my testing the latest standard Mac 
version would not load.
