You should see something like /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART listed for your serial port on your Mac if your drivers are installed.

I realised some time ago that using rigctl is just so comfortable for me. I looked at the dump_caps for 1035 i.e. FT-991. While I understand a lot of the commands I do not understand all of them. I understand that rigctl is designed as a back end and developers of front ends only need to understand the structure. But I have used the linux command line for many years, I am at home to use it as a front end.

As well as my screen reader crashes when reading a continuous string of the letter "o". So I can't explore beyond the hamlib support for my radios. Which is enough for now. While I can set frequency and appropriate tones and modes etc. I don't understand the palm, function and power settings. I see from my dump that scan is not supported so thought I'd be able to write a script to do this but this would require me understand Yaesu's cat command set.
