Hi, Echomac does work nicely, with a couple caveats:
1) It isn't quite so forgiving of poorly configured or not configured routers. That is to say, you have to have ports 5198 and 5199 forwarded to your Mac for UDP traffic and 5200 forward for both TCP and UDP. Setting up as trigger ports is fine, but they need to be set in any case. Also, you should know that your push to squawk button is cmd+enter, and, as May said, the interface is not like the Windows version--but still usable for that. As for W4MQ; I haven't tried it, haven't looked at it too closely so couldn't say. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Oct 19, 2009, at 10:32 AM, John W.
