[Ham-Mac] MacOS 10.12 Sierra Public Beta and fldigi-3.23.12

[Richard Kriss]

Bob N7XY,

Have you tried the current fldigi with macOS 10.12 and does rig control work?  If so we need to talk because I must be doing something wrong.

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.
