[chirp_users] MAC OS Sierra USB Port path incorrect in CHIRP

[Brian Dickman]

To expand on what Tom said, it's good that System Information sees the
device plugged into USB, but that doesn't mean a serial driver is
loaded and creating a TTY that CHIRP can use. It is confirmation that
the cable is connected and powered up, but if you don't get a new
/dev/tty.* entry, then no driver is loaded or communicating with the
cable chip.

If you collect the "Vendor ID" and "Product ID" values from System
Information for the cable, you can confirm whether or not this is a
true FTDI cable with an ID that ought to be loaded automatically by
the Sierra FTDI driver.

When I try to link the radio to my computer, the CHIRP software defaults to my bluetooth port, not the FTDI Cable.  I checked in System Information, USB ports, and my computer is seeing the cable, but CHIRP does not.  How do I get CHIRP to see the correct cable and not my bluetooth port path?
