See it done in this video or read about it in the text that follows: Installation on the Mac

All USB devices require drivers to identify the device to the machine and make it work with the operating system. The drivers for the RT Systems cables are distributed with the installation package for the programmer. Double click on the drivers package to begin that installation.

Drivers for RT Systems or Yaesu (SCU-19 or SCU-20 cables) can be downloaded DRIVER DOWNLOAD HERE

Note: Sometimes you don't know the process has failed other than "nothing" happens. That is a failure. If you don't see the Driver Installation window open, the process has been blocked. We can help. Feel free to contact RT Systems at 404-806-9561 (Monday - Friday 10-6 Eastern Time) for assistance.
