I just purchased a whistler ws1065. Then purchased premium at radio reference and cannot download or open! Does the software downloads not work with apple computers?

As has already been noted, none of the software packages that can be used to program your WS1065 will run using Apple's operating system. See this page for some information on what needs to be dome so that you can use your Mac or other Apple machine:I just purchased a whistler ws1065.

What specifically won't download or open? The "premium subscriber" badge shows beneath your username here so you have an active premium subscription. "Premium" is a subscription to the services described in the page you would have had to visit to sign up & I linked here, not a standalone app in its own right. You then utilize the RR database web import service with a programming app compatible with your scanner but as mentioned you'll need a Windows virtual environment to run scanner apps on a Mac.

seconded: virtualization doesn't solve all your problems. and even when it does it may be too confusing. my dad got a new Surface and when he plugged in a Home Patrol 2 it thrashed wildly and prompted him to install .net Framework 2.0 (!) and i was like NO DONT DO THAT and built him a Windows VM in HyperV and he mailed me the Home Patrol 2 instead of saying thank you ><Im surprised you‘ve never realised windows and apple OS are different? .exe is a pretty huge clue its not a mac application. Im all mac for everything bar radios, and have to have a PC in the office. I used to have parallels on the macs but that wasn't always guaranteed to work when dealing with usb devices inside windows.
