> I installed the macOS public beta on a test partition and one of my first tests was with fldigi. The good news is fldigi-3.23.12 starts, decodes and transmits normal. The bad news is I could not get rig control to “Initialize" and as result fldigi could not display the frequency of my TS-590SG.  The same version of fldigi works fine with Mac OS 10.11.5.


I reported this to Dave, W1HKJ, and he is unable to verify the issue as his test Mac Mini is not supported by the new macOS. 

Try macOS if you wish but be sure you have a good OS X backup.
