    dogparkSDR is the "best" Mac client available today... Not sure if its been updated to support multilink yet... If not, real soon I guess. Alternatively run a windows VM and use the standard SDR software. I have a Mac and prefer using a VM/Windows.

    Ut Oh, We purchased the 6400 specifically for v3 Multi-Flex capability.  He has Mac OS.  Oh boy.

    Parallels, W10Pro and SmartSDR 2.4.9 work very well together, having not yet switched to the V3, but nothing prevents it works with the V3! Here I use a 27 "iMac with 2 additional screens in Capture mode under Parallels Desktop. 73's :-)

    He can run DogParkSDR on V2, but it does mean that the radio has to be on V2 and only 1 person can use the radio at 1 time.  With V3, you can both share the radio, but he will have to be using SmartSDR V3 on a PC.  

    You can check with DogParkSDR and see what their plans/timeline might be.

    Flex has never offered a Mac client. 3rd parties are in the process of upgrading their clients and likely soon. Did you reach out to dogparksoftware?

    Yes, we will be speaking with the DogPark folks. Find out when they are planning to be v3 compatible.  Why they would not be upon the v3 release is puzzling. Are they not a partner of Flex???  dan

    Just an independent developer like me and many others.

    Dwayne, you developers don't get access to APIs prior to the release?  There is no co-development partnerships or even coordination?  dan

    I do api development on other platforms and the answer is “it depends” and is based on the legal relationship which can include mutual “non disclosure” and “non compete” agreements. I just started with the Flex API and as such, only available at release for “us” regular people.

    Thanks Paul for this most detailed explanation.  I appreciate it. It's unfortunate, but at least a work around.  But he does not like VM modes. I most probably will just buy him and ship to him a Windows 10 laptop for use with Flex v3 remote operation.  Or a maestro. Thanks, dan

    Oh Paul,  great suggestion.  He has a nice big iPad Pro so he can run the iOS version. That would work fine for him.  And I believe he might also be able to possibly mirror iPAd screen onto his large screen TV via Apple TV and AirPlay. In any case, this is a really good solution for him as he is Apple guy.  And my use the iOS version in the last few weeks, I know it is really good.  Thanks, dan
