[Ham-Mac] Fldigi support for Mac OS

[Dino Papas]

First of all, as always thanks to the fldigi team for the hard work with this great program and for porting it over to the Mac OS as well as keeping Mac users in mind as they follow thru with the multi-OS updates.

But there are at least two things missing from the Mac version that need addressing for those of us using microHAM interfaces and Chen W7AY's microRouter keying control program:

(1) Rig control - regardless of what I do, how I configure the options, I cannot get fldigi to control the radio via my microHAM DigiKeyer.  I know that the microHAM interface works correctly with rig control because it does so properly under Don Argo's MacLogger DX program.  Others may have had success with other interfaces but has anyone had any luck with a microHAM interface???

(2) Interface with uRouter - quite a while back we worked with Stelios to have the Mac program automatically simultaneously start uRouter on fldigi startup - good news; bad news is that fldigi does not also automatically quit uRouter when it ends and you have to manually quit uRouter.

At face value these appear to be issues that could be addressed simply, but I'm not a programmer so I may not be able to see the forest for the trees.  I imagine that someone who might take this fine-tuning effort on would get great support from Chen W7AY (uRouter) and Joe W4TV (microHAM) in providing useful info to work with.

So, again, kudos to the development team for their work --- can you take these additional issues on?  I believe there are a number of microHAM interface users who would really appreciate it.
