SDRPlay makes powerful all mode software defined receivers. I have had a RSP2 running for years on my PC's Using its software SDRuno. Finally SDRPlay has pushed out a universal platform called SDRconnect. This software works on Window, macOS, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and with remote servers. Remote servers are SDR's that you can access online. You can listen through a receiver in a distant area that enables you to listen to SW stations you would not normally be able to hear from your location.
With an SDRPlay and SDRconnect you can turn any Mac computer into a powerful receiver that covers 1kHz to 2gHz just by plugging it into one of the USB ports on it. The SDRplay operates in all modes, and I mean all of them. Am broadcast, FM broadcast, all of the digital modes, RTTY, WeFax, direct weather satellite imaging, all of it. up on 60 mHz you can listen to meteor scatter beacons and hear the chirping sound meteorites burning up in the atmosphere. When I say powerful receiver I mean it. I have high end Amatuer radios with receiver that can pick a half watt QRP CW signal coming from the other side of the planet, The SDRPlay is as good covers vastly more frequencies and costs a fraction of what a IC-7610 does. With an GRP antenna and your MacBook you can go out in the wild and listen to the world with an SDRPlay, and headphones.
Here is my new SDRPlay RSPsdx the best they make. I have a USB-C to USB B cable on its way I thought I had one but I used it on the ICOM IC-7300. With the installation of the RSPdx on the Mac Studio this completes My transition to a Mac powered hamstation. I am getting the stink (Magic) eye from the 65 year old Viking transmitters and Collins, and Hammarlund receivers over at the vintage radio desk.
