I got my serial drivers updated, and it's talking fine to the radio, still on 10.7.0 though.

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.

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.
