I didn't find the performance of the Fifi-SDR very good and stopped playing with it.<br /><br />Greetings!Peter Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007012724570360389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35901825.post-52474423507467719962023-08-24T19:57:38.293+10:002023-08-24T19:57:38.293+10:00Hello

I have now read your blog but unfortunately the link does not work for testing. Are there still possibilities to get the Fifi-Sdr to run under Mac. I'm brand new to the apple world.<br />Greeting KarstenKarstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18292456337395698873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35901825.post-679424294655518302016-12-06T12:36:10.943+10:002016-12-06T12:36:10.943+10:00That's great news Jim.

Perhaps it needs better front end filtering or a pre-amp. How is yours?<br /><br />PeterPeter Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007012724570360389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35901825.post-78783741347313174172016-12-06T12:13:46.652+10:002016-12-06T12:13:46.652+10:00Hi Peter,

I plugged in my SoftRock RXTX and selected About This Mac > System Report > USB. The SoftRock RXTX was listed as "DG8SAQ-I2C". I launched FiFiControl and it works! The problem recognizing the SoftRock USB interface occurs only on my old 2010 vintage plastic MacBook running MacOS Sierra.

I'll give it a go and see what's going on.<br /><br />PeterPeter Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007012724570360389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35901825.post-71261471699410581032016-12-05T09:40:51.747+10:002016-12-05T09:40:51.747+10:00Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, OS X "Sierra" does not detect the SoftRock USB interface. I also tried the rockprog program with the same results. Do I need to install a special USB driver on the Mac?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Jim<br />N7IHQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
