RadioReference.com Forums 3. Basic Operation Device Selection : Upon opening, ensure your RTL-SDR dongle is recognized. Frequency & Mode Enter your target frequency (e.g., 438.200 MHz Select the desired mode from the menu: Audio Output : In version 1.7.0, you can specifically change the audio output device

It is worth noting that OpenEar development has slowed down or ceased in recent years, with the developer moving on to other projects. While remains a fantastic tool for legacy systems and basic scanning, users on the latest macOS versions (Ventura, Sonoma, etc.) might want to look into alternative SDR software like SDRangel or CubicSDR , which are currently maintained and offer updated drivers for the newest OS updates.
