On my Mac, I've been struggling for a while to get ESDR3 to play nice with WSJT-X and MacLoggerDX, and have encountered nothing but trouble with both CAT control and audio routing.

I finally found a build of JTDX "Improved" (which is a derivative of WSJT-X) that supports Expert's TCI excellent TCI protocol. The link is here. I think it's a very nice enhancement to the original WSJT-X.

Be sure to follow the instructions in the ReadMe to cure any potential app launch issues. I've downloaded the "jtdx-2.2.159_improved_JTDX_GUI_Darwin-x86_64.dmg" version, and it works flawlessly with ESDR3 version 1.0.7 beta (the latest release as of this posting), and macOS Sonoma version 14.4, running on my M2 Studio Mac.

Don't you wish everyone used TCI?

Well, I spoke too soon. Apparently JTDX v2.2.159 improved is using an older version of TCI (versus 2.0). I've contacted the author, and requested a build using the latest TCI version. We'll see what happens...

Got a reply from the author who indicated this should get fixed when JTDX v2.2.160 is publicly available. I confirmed that ESDR3 1.0.0 beta works perfectly with JTDX v2.2.159. This confirms to me that when JTDX v2.2.160 is released, it should work with the current ESDR3 1.0.7 beta.
