I don't use a Mac myself - but there are many mentions on the forum of people using Macs with no (or at least few) problems.

Have a search of the forum - there's quite a bit of stuff about it here.

You'll need to install VMWare Fusion or Parallels. (I prefer the former.) There is occasionally some driver weirdness on setup / upgrade; but it works.

For an easy and free alternative the above Virtualization solutions.. Try Oracle's VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ - I use it on my Macbook for over a year with no problems.

I can confirm that vm ware works with the receivers without any issue.

You have to ensure that the usb port is software enabled to windows.

I have had issues with parallels so switched to vm as think its better.

I also use VMWare running on a MAC computer and works good with RadarBox.

Cheers

Do you use any anti-virus software?

It is said you do not need to, but I run NOD32 (beta) on my iMAC as I also have VMware installed as that has NOD32 also.  For no other reason as not to obtain viruses in the windows environment from either platform.
