[chirp_users] Max OSX Woes

Started with Lion on a 2011 MBP. Finally found a driver package in Spanish
that installed a working driver.
Along the way I've done the upgrades to get to Maverick 10.193 And Chirp
blazes along. Loads instantly
even quicker than my AMD quad core desktop, 4 cores at 4 ghz each. Now,
there may be an issue with
installing fresh on a Mac that came with Mavericks installed but certainly
not the upgrade route.
