Can someone share Hermes lite 2 software support, except SDR console and SparkSDR, what would be my option, mainly interesting in transmitting. 

Gnuradio-companion as module is not supported or Redhawk, for instrumentation.

Do you have a recent model iPhone or iPad?  I modified the rtl_tcp SDR iOS app I developed to also both receive and transmit using an HL2 via a direct network connection:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rtl-tcp-sdr/id1351164646 
A WiFi connection allows HL2 receive, but I usually use a wired (via a Lightning-to-ethernet adapter) connection for reliable transmit, as WiFi often inserts too much UDP packet timing jitter, which causes relay chatter and signal drop-outs.  Let me know if you want an iOS Testflight invitation (Apple's beta testing program, which can allow a free app download).

I have several HL2 Build 9 hardware chassis running. Someday I will move from QRP to QRP with an larger set of finals.

And this weekend I upgraded Quisk 4.1.80 to the current 4.2.2 on an Apple Macbook Pro running Catalina.

Also running natively on Macos Catalina are LINHPSDR, PIHPSDR and SparkSdr.

I have tried different implementations of wine, winebottler and Crossover for Mac to run most of the Windows SDR programs.
Nothing appears to be as stable as Parallels.

With the support from running Windows 10  running in a Parallels VM,  Thetis and SDR Console run in a virtual machine

They all have their good points, SparkSDR seems to be the most versatile as it runs natively. 
I like the look and feel of Thetis, looking forward to the interface updates.

Quisk seems to always be the old reliable, it just runs. 

The interface that I really like only uses RFSPACE Protocol over ethernet, SDRx. There are both OSX and Windows versions.
Someday I might figure out how to make it work with my HL2's, Solidus and or Teensy 4.1 SDR. 
I had used it for years, with a SDR MK1.5 Andrus. I haven't found the code to serve up SDR I/Q over RFSPACE protocol.

Simon Brown had a solid product with the most versatile features and seems to be the Windows frontrunner. 
Regular updates make it even better. 

So many options with SDR radios.

The wiki software page covers most of the available options: https://github.com/softerhardware/Hermes-Lite2/wiki/Software

Apologies if someone posted it in this thread and I missed it.
