Normally I would ignore reviews like this, but this time I had to correct the last reviewers point of view. I just read a negative review of FLDIGI and the FT-991. The software is great, but their support for Mac is abysmal, especially since they advertise that it works with it. Or better still, look for a better supported program. If you want to use FLDIGI I would recommend either to use Linux or Windows, both of which seem to be supported. I'm very disappointed that I'm left dead with no support, or even an "I'm sorry". I have other Mac ham software that I pay real money for and I get almost instantaneous email response from the developer if there is a problem, as do the other users.īe aware that if you are NOT using Windows or Linux, there appears to be no support and you are on your own. So here I am, three days before the largest RTTY contest of the year with no working software. I don't believe I got a useful comment from anyone running Mac OS. If I wanted to run it under Windows, I would buy a Windows computer, not running it under emulation on the Mac. I don't want to convert to a Raspberry Pi. I frankly felt the replies were insulting. Well, I got a half dozen comments, all suggesting I move to Linux in a Raspberry Pi, or running emulation software under Mac OS. I posted a message explaining my findings, asking for comments. Interesting, but Mac OS is Linux based so I gave it a try. I looked for support on the Web and found that Mac OS support was on the linuxham forum. Certainly the audio was getting to FLDIGI, as PSK31 worked fine, but when you switched to another digital mode, nothing I used ARRL Bulletin transmissions to test FLDIGI on those modes.įLDIGI does decode psk31 quite well with no problems, so I assumed that the problem was internal to FLDIGI. FLDIGI wouldn't decode RTTY and MFSK, and possibly other modes, but it would decode PSK31. But lately I upgraded my Mac OS to Big Sur and ran into problems. I've used FLDIGI for many years, and it's always worked great.
