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

[Dave Wright]

Dick, are you using the built-in USB on your 590SG?

If so, perhaps there is simply a driver issue with the SI Labs chip
and new macOS Sierra.  The drivers typically lag behind the beta
versions, as I'm sure you know.  I seriously doubt that anything in
Sierra would break rig control in Fldigi, although I haven't given it
a go yet.

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.
