Will likely buy a Software Defined Radio (SDR) on USB for a variety of
projects.

Any Mac OS s/w to recommend?

Features I'd like to have:

- demodulation of AM, SSB, FM - everything in the 1.8 to 1300 MHz range.

- ADS-B decode (978 and 1090 MHz)

- Decode data output to pipe file for input to my own program or API (C).

Nice to have: GPS correlation and decode.

Not adverse to s/w running under Linux on Rasp Pi 4B either, but that's
another issue.

A quick find:

I'm sorry not to have any recommendations to offer but
I'm interested in this too. I last looked for MacOS SDR s/w
~5 years ago and found none. I ended up running a 'Doze
VM just for the radio s/w.

If you do happen to find some Mac s/w I'd be very interested
to hear about it.

Well, the one I linked below and a recent reply from Amazon Answers:

<<"SDR++, GQRX, CubicSDR, SDRAngel are all good apps for MacOS. SDRAngel
can do ADS-B, but there are other more lightweight ADS-B decoders
available too.">>

Thanks for that, Alan, I'll take a look. I'd be interested
to hear what you finally decide to use.
