[Elecraft] KX2 Utility for MAC not working for me

[Grant Youngman]

David ..

I’ve seen that happen with other apps occasionally.  But to be honest, I have no clue what causes it (permissions glitch, maybe?)  Have you tried rebooting the Mac?  Probably won’t help, but is sometimes the universal cure-all — like hitting a radio on the side when it quits working :-)

If I just click on it in the Downloads folder directly from the Dock, I get a message that it won’t open because it was downloaded from the internet.  (There’s something screwy with Catalina and the behavior of the Downloads Dock icon anyway). If I open Downloads in Finder and then run it properly it runs fine.
