[chirp_users] CHIRP with Mac OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)

[Bob Nielsen]

It's a bit easier than that:

If you control-click on the app icon and click on "open", a pop-up 
window will warn you and ask if you really want to run the program.  
Click that you do and it will run; you will not be asked in the future.
