Hi Jav NM6E,

Since the reflector strip graphics, please send me a Mac screenshot of your fldigi Rig Control/RigCAT settings.  Do you have the FT-950.xml file displayed in the Rig description box? If not, you need to download the file from <http://www.w1hkj.com/xmls/yaesu/>.  I wonder if you have the driver for the FTDI serial converter installed on the Mac. Does it show in the RigCAT Device box?  

Please send the screenshot
