balenaEtcher-1.5.115 fail to flash microSD

In the printed KrakenSDR Users Manual on page 11 it is recommended to use balenaEtcher to flash an KrakenSDR DF image. It failed for me. BalenaEtcher (used balenaEtcher-1.5.115.dmg from https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ) could not unmount the SD-card Sandisk Edge 128GB.
My OS is an updated MacOS 10.15.7. I used an elder Trancend SD/MMC adapter, that support up to SDHC - the SD-card is a microSDXC.
A friend recommended to use Raspberry Pi Imager (used imager_1.7.2.dmg found here https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ ). Raspberry Pi Imager worked (no cog settings was used).
Please consider updating or supplementing your (printed) KrakenSDR Users Manual with the alternative Raspberry Pi Imager.
Thanks. Weird problem with Etcher though. I've updated on the online Wiki to include an alternative.
The trouble with the printed is that it's not easy to update.
