You do have to run it inside a Windows VM, but that doesn’t seem to be much of an inconvenience. One of the benefits of having a legal copy, I presume.Īnyway, just thought it’d be worth noting for Mac users that you too can have an SDR instrument on your desktop. Turns out that wasn’t a problem… re-registration went smoothly, just a couple clicks and it was done. VMWARE imported my Parallels XP VM without comment, and the only catch was that XP bitched at me about having to be re-registered because “my hardware had changed significantly.” Oops. It was less expensive to “cross-grade” to VMWARE than it was to buy a Parallels “support incident”, so Parallels just lost a paying customer. I tried it with Parallels 2, but Parallels screws up the USB connection and it just won’t fly. Tomorrow, when I can buy a length of coax, I’ll hook it up to my shortwave antenna, which is out of reach of my computer desktop right now. I’m listening to Radio Havana on 6050 KHz right now on a three foot piece of wire. No Mac support as yet, but… install VMWARE and XP, and it works great.
