I haven't set debug yet, but I wanted to respond with the ls -l output first. crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 18, 4 Feb 8 10:26 /dev/tty.usbserial-1430
I'm logged in as user ericchamberlain and groups looks like: staff access_bpf everyone localaccounts _appserverusr admin _appserveradm _lpadmin _appstore _lpoperator _developer _analyticsusers com.apple.access_ftp com.apple.access_screensharing com.apple.access_ssh com.apple.access_remote_ae com.apple.sharepoint.group.1 So yeah, I'm not a member of wheel group. From: "Curt Mills" <curt.w...@gmail.com> File -> Configure -> Change Debug Level can change it while it's running. You need to start Xastir from a console/xterm/etc in order to see them. See the file DEBUG_LEVELS for info on which ones to try. The sources are the result of a LOT of people over the years, starting with Frank Gianandrea who initially wrote it. Thank them. ;-) The port to use if you're using a TNC4 in KISS mode is the "Serial KISS TNC" interface. I've used that with H/W full-blown TNC's and with my TNC-X. More than likely it's a group/permissions problem with the interface. Do an "ls -l" against the port you're using and report back with the string for it including owner/group/permissions. Also report back what "groups" shows when logged-in as the user you're starting Xastir as. BTW: Don't run Xastir as root.
