BigSur and SmartSDR

in SmartSDR for Mac

I just bought SmartSDR for Mac and I am running BigSur on my laptop.


I am not getting any data from the radio, it works on my iPhone. It seems to launch but no sound, nothing on the pan adapter etc. Please advise.

    Big Sur is a major OS update on the Mac - id be careful to check all my apps by loading the update on an external drive (copy) for testing before committing.

    Was it running well under Catalina?

    It runs fine for me on Catalina. Holding off on Big Sur for some time as other things are ready for it yet.

    I didn't have it under Catalina as I didn't need it then. Just wanted to share.

    I have it running on my 2019 Mac Pro under Big Sur, no problems.

    Interesting this is on a MacBook Pro 2019 and I do not get the waterfall at all.

    On a hunch, try explicitly adding the program to the Firewall exemptions. It should be exempt since it is an App Store app, but give it a try. Similar situations are seen on Windows machines when running SmartSDR and it is blocked by the firewall.

    SmartSDR for Mac running fine in Big Sur with Maestro for me.

    The firewall part was definitely the issue. Works fine on BigSur now.
