[chirp_users] KT7900D/QB25 driver for macOS 10.13 (Mojave)?

[Christopher Knowles]

Go to Miklor.com.  There they explain that most cables have counterfeit 
Prolific chips.  When Windows updates itself automatically, it installs 
the latest Prolific driver. That one does not work with counterfeits.  
You have to roll the driver back to a previous version.  Miklor.com not 
only provides a link to download that driver but it tells you how to 
tell your computer how not to update it in the future.  Chris Knowles, N1CAK
