MacOS X and HAM Radio Programing Software

Guys,

I been able to program my two HAM radios from my Mac using Windows XP and the appropriate radio programing software. Since most radios use serial interfaces and the Mac has none. I had to use USB to serial adapters such as ttl2usb.

Let me tell you, it just works. Below is a picture of the VX Commader by Jim Mitchell KC8UNJ (Free Software)



Below is a pic of the software I use to program my FT 2800M. It's called FTB2800 by Bob Freeth, G4HFQ.





Regards

Alvaro

Sweat. I love it when people get more things to work on a Mac.
