Reports were, though, that they worked fine under virtualisation, such as Parallels Desktop. Reviewing the hardware possibilities, the ELAD FDM-S2 stood out in terms of value for money being a USB system, though, it relied on drivers, which were only available for Windows. However I also wanted VHF coverage, and was unable to find a reasonably priced SDR which worked over Ethernet. My preference was for a device which interfaced via Ethernet, which would make a driver unnecessary, and would ease the issue of OS X support. I then looked for a high-quality SDR which was well-supported by Mac software. My interest awakened by a cheap RTL-SDR ‘dongle’, I thought it was time to try out a more serious software-defined radio (SDR) receiver with my iMac.
