I get it now Tom.
I thought there already was a USB/Macintosh interface to the Softrocks? I'm fairly sure there was/is. It may have been for DSP Radio. There are a few Windows applications that are in the same boat and have become orphans ie. can't talk to the SI570. There are a few Mac users here so if you ask about Mac to Softrock interfaces you may get more response.

Not getting a lot of response, I'll try to expand a little.
I am running SdrDX on a MacBook Pro. It listens to the Ensemble RX II nicely. I would like to be able to tune (set the center frequency) of the RX II from within SdrDX.
While SdrDX cannot talk directly to the RX II, it does send out messages including frequency changes. These can be captured in a Python routine. In theory we should be able to format these messages and pass them on to the RX II via USB.
Hence my original question.

Has anyone out there set up a Python routine to capture center freq info from SdrDX and send it out to the Ensemble II?
