I've used D-RATS for years on Leopard and Snow Leopard.  I haven't been doing much of anything ham radio related the last couple of months, but a quick check shows that 0.3.3b5 which was what I had handy did not seem to launch quickly on Lion, it threw a GTK error.  I'm not too surprised as I haven't checked out my python/gtk install, so I would not assume that it's a D-RATS issue.  

however the 0.3.3b2.app I had handy (the latest .app I had already) worked with no problems, at least to get on the internet.  It didn't even need me to reinstall the underlying kk7ds library bits.  this is on 10.7, the 10.7.1 update had a lot of problems for a co-worker, so I haven't upgraded. I'll likely wait for 10.7.2, assuming it gets better reviews.

I can try and test tomorrow with a serial cable and radio, those aren't handy at the moment. the radio I would be testing with is an IC-92AD.
