Re: [Elecraft] [KAT500] Please help with Mac-KAT500 interface
Thanks, David et.al. You're right. I've been using the Keyspan driver for the K3 Utility. I never bothered to reload the FTDI driver after I did a clean re-install of the operating system.

Don, It sounds like the FTDI driver is not installed on your MacBook. You need to download and install the latest driver for Mac OS X (V 2.2.18). http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm David, W4SMT From: Don Putnick To: elecraft Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 11:07 AM Subject: [Elecraft] [KAT500] Please help with Mac-KAT500 interface Hi all, I'm trying to control my KAT500 via the KXUSB cable to my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.

Hi all, I'm trying to control my KAT500 via the KXUSB cable to my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. The only two ports I see are "Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" and "Bluetooth-Modem". The first gets "KAT500 is not responding" error message from the KAT Utility. The second gets a "Unable to open serial port" error message. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.
