Re: CubicSDR vs Console

Anyone else loaded up on both platforms? I tried all the various toys in a Windows VM, mostly just to verify that the hardware was in working order. I then switched to OS X native software (Cubic SDR, plus some command line tools) which I now use exclusively. I am frustrated by the lack of variety ...
