[chirp_users] Chirp & FT8800R

[Milton Hywatt]

I'd suggest that the user navigate to that device folder
/dev using Finder or Terminal and see if that port even exists. 

cd/ dev
ls 

Do this with the cord plugged into the USB port. Scroll up and down
and see if you can find that port /dev/cu.xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Get back with me off list. These Mac issues can get tedious 
and piss others off.

There are several drivers available for different OS's on that web site.
