Hi Michael There are some latency issues with the Windows nVidia 320M video driver for the 2010 Mac Mini that make it unsuitable for use as a Flex computer at the moment. This is likely the case for MacBook Pros that use the 320m and 330m GPUs as well. As James (KK6MC) mentioned, the trick to u

Mike - I run a Flex1500 with a MacBook Pro running a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with Bootcamp. It handles the Flex 1500 beautifully with no compatibility problems. With Bootcamp, there is no apparent difference to a Windows machine, except it boots a lot faster. Shoot me an e-mail if you have other que

I don't have 1500, but I assume they run like the others-- They put the phones and mic connections on the radio mostly for convenience. Many people like a traditional rig-type audio connection. They run the digital audio paths back to sound interface chips in the rig box to make this convenien
