... I have Java 19 installed. I have downloaded the Mac software, and nothing. All that pops up in a black box and that is it. Empty black box.

Is anyone running their P25RX successfully off a Mac?

What flavor of Mac? Intel or M1 / M2?

I've only used it on Intel Linux and Windows PCs - might be the issue.

As previously answered, an M1 MacBook Pro. I did just upgrade from 12 to 13 this evening.
As previously stated, Intel Macs and M1 Macs are different, wrt to Java and other middleware. But Kevin C made the best suggestion: contact the dev at his website.

I run 3 of these 24/7. 2 on a MacBook 14" PRO and the other one on an iMac M1. The software for the receiver is not Mac specific and the .exe needs to be changed to .jar. Also the icon for the Oracle Java should be a steaming teacup. There are issues if it's not the Oracle version
