[Ham-Mac] QST For Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Keyspan Adapter Users

[Dick Kriss]

If you are using a Keyspan USB to Serial adapter and the new
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you may want to download and
install the latest (2.6) Keyspan 10.6 driver.

Note the last item under  the "Help & Downloads" tab near the
bottom of the page.

Model USA-19HS, USA-49WG, USA-28XG & UPR-112G Keyspan
Driver - Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  (zip - 386 Kb)

I contacted Triplite a few weeks ago and was told they had
no plans for new drivers for the older Keyspan products so I
have been using the older version 2.5 driver.  I just installed
the new version 2.6 driver and it works great with the USA-28X
Serial/USB adapter for Rig Control with fldigi and my Kenwood
TS-570S.

One word of caution from the installer "Mac OS X 10.6 or
later is required."

Thanks to Jeff N8NOE for relaying the update notice from Don
VE3VRW, the developer of MLDX and other Macintosh applications.
