I am new to Hand Held HAM radio and have a ton of trouble getting the radio to connect with the computer. Radio is BF-F8HP Operating system is Mac 10.8.5 I have installed everything Instructed to from the Chirp site. including the osx-pl2303 installer and the python runtime files
I start Chirp plug in the cable, and then the radio, and finally turn on the radio I then select Radio > Download from radio select Port (and there are several to select from:
1. /dev/cu.Bluetooth-modem 2. /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-1 3. /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-2 4. /dev/cu.Bluetooth-(myname)-Wireless-iAP 5. /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync
All of which result in 1. Chirp starts processing a gives error 16 Resource busy could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Modem 2. for serial-1 it appears to start cloning and then reports: radio did not respond 3. for serial-2 it appears to start cloning and then reports: radio did not respond 4. for Bluetooth (myname) Wireless-iAP it appears to start cloning and then reports: radio did not respond 5. could not open port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync: [Errno 16] Resource busy: '/dev/cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync'
