SDRTrunk/RTL-SDR dongle not compatible with mac High Sierra?

[Huezee]

Has anyone had success in running SDRTrunk with the RTL-SDR dongles on mac os High Sierra? I haven't been able to get my machine to recognize the usb dongles. CubicSDR appears to work fine.

Not a direct answer for High Sierra but I have been running three RTL-SDR dongles on MacOS Mojave, Catalina and Big Sur with SDRTrunk. You could post your question on their Google Groups site as well.

Did you look on the developers Github site ? High Sierra is NOT supported. Just found this information there........

Minimum System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows (32 or 64-bit), Linux (32 or 64-bit) or Mac/Linux (64-bit, 10.14 or higher)
• CPU: 4-core
• RAM: 8GB or more (preferred). Depending on usage, 4GB may be sufficient.

I have SDRTrunk and CubicSDR running on my 2017 MacBook Pro under Big Sur.
