I have a large flex system two radios 860 6600 with tuner genius, antenna, genius and power genius I was really struggling running this on windows with flex software kept having slice master other third-party apps and windows. Every other day updating the software kept crashing system. I was spending hours of my day trying to keep windows working. I packed it all in scrapped windows went and bought a new Mac and I used Marcus‘s SDR software to do everything it is fantastic now I play radio with built-in FT8 whisper and logging programs also DXlogger is a fantastic logging program as well and an optional JS8 CALL software everything works radio always hooks up my Flex radio‘s be work better than ever. I was ready to sell all my radios and throw rocks at them . Marcus software save me the radios work fantastic now I have no problems. Flex radio’s are fantastic. Just don’t use Windows and flex software. This is your ticket. Buy his suite of software and it works fabulous. I also have his Icom control software it works beautiful with a 705 and a 9700 works fantastic. This is a software for you if you want it simple and just to work. Can’t go wrong with this software and running flex on an apple is the way to go.

I find myself listening through the app more than on my Flex Radio.

To be able to open the app and access all the best of the Flex system anywhere is a blast! The app keeps getting better. To have a few minutes, open the app, and bag some DX or POTA is just too cool!
