[Elecraft] Proper Setup of K3 with SignaLink USB for running WSJT-X on a Mac

[Jim Bennett]

Bob - have you modified the WSJT-X.ini file to point it to your SLUSB stuff? I had the same issue trying to get my iMac (and my MacBook Air) to properly do rig control. Here is what I had to do in my situation - your USBSERIAL name and location may be different:

CATdriver=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ
CATport=/dev/cu.usbserial-A501XNHZ
