I don't know how many ham radio operators that inhabit MacRumors there are but if you are one you know how threadbare amature radio software is for us. Mac users. One of my favorite Mac/iOS developers Marcus Roskosch, DL8MR, Has pushed out a full featured rig control software for ICOM radios, this includes the IC-7300. The $99.99 price is fair and inline with some of the other Windows Rig control packages that tend to be bloatware. Beside bringing ICOM Rig control to the Mac it also includes the FT modes, the PSK modes, does CW decoding, and logging. I have all of Marcus's App's load his Ham-Tool box is a real treasure. With this experience it looks like SDR-Control is a no brainer. If you look in the description with Marcus's usual attention to detail it supports M1, and M2 processors. Marcus uses the USB port on the 7300 for the connection, and for the other ICOM radio they have ethernet ports, SmartSDR uses that for the interfaces.

Wow! Thanks! Supports the 705 as well.

A lot of really great features in this package.

Did you look at Marus’s App that gives you rig control of the ICOM 705, and 7610 from an iPhone or iPad?
