As Mac OS is UNIX like... (Nothing like Windows, more like BSD!)
You may need to add your regular login username, to a group for easy access to the serial ports. Under many Linux(s) sudo adduser #### dialout (Substitute your regular login user name for the ####) Will do the job. What the equivalent command would be on a MAC I don't know in detail. You may even first need to make yourself root to use that, as you need to on FreeBSD, that the MAC OS is more like than Linux. You should also be able to find out what any USB<>Serial adapter is known as, by using a command line tool such as dmesg, and examining the last few lines of that, just after connecting the device to the computer. In fact, run dmesg before, and after inserting the adapter, you'll then see the difference... ( dmesg | tail Should only show you the last 10 lines, not the entire stored archive!) Note too, that WSJT etc, uses Hamlib for radio control, that in turn uses whatever that needs to reach the radio(s.) So, if not already done as part of the WSJT install, you may also need to install that separately. 73.
