DAB/DAB+ on a Mac anyone?

I'm looking forward to some FM/DAB DXing from Cap Griz Nez, across the Channel from Dover, later this month and I'm wondering if anyone has succeeded in getting anything to work that will receive DAB/DAB+ with a RSP2 under OS X.

Re: Mac troubles

I've just set up my 'new' (well new to me, Mid-2012) Macbook Pro with OSX Sierra and made a few interesting discoveries. Using the latest API (2.13.2) from the SDRPlay website and the current version of GQRX (2.11.5), the RSP2 is recognised by the API but not by GQRX. I then installed an older API (...

Re: Mac troubles

If CubicSDR and GQRX are crashing on startup, it would suggest an issue somewhere else as with CubicSDR, the device driver isn't loaded until the device is selected after CubicSDR is running. Here's what happens when I try to start CubicSDR and gqrx through the Terminal: CubicSDR: RMacBook:~ xxxxx$...

It isn't actually VMWare, here, but Parallels.

Re: Mac or Windows?

I've been a happy Mac user for the last 25 years for everything from word processing to photography and professional audio. BUT... Try anything that has to do with radio, ham radio, or SDR and you'll feel like the proverbial poor relative. Lots of fun stuff that isn't available for the Mac and whate...

Mac troubles

Hi all, My Macs are acting up. On the Mac mini, running under Sierra 10.12.6, gqrx has decided overnight that it won't recognise my RSP2 any longer. Not even on the second attempt, as it did before.
