Hello,

I have been trying in vain to get my radio to talk with CHIRP on my Macbook
Pro running 10.13.3. I have downloaded and installed the latest cable
drivers and the latest CHIRP build. I have verified that the cable is
recognized, but when I try to download from the radio, even with the
correct radio (UV-5RV2+) and port (/dev/cu.usbserial), it simply hangs and
says that the radio did not respond. All of the software works great on my
PC, but I have been trying to get the Mac version to work for a long time
with no luck. I have scanned countless forums and mail lists, but I have
yet to find a solution. The cable I have is a Baofeng cable (it says
Baofeng right on it), so I assume that this is not a cheap junk cable. I
have attached the debug log below. Can anyone help please!!

Hi Scott,

I use a Mac regularly to run CHIRP.  However, unless your cable is a _real_ FTDI cable, you are likely going to run into driver issues.  MacOS includes drivers for FTDI.  No additional driver downloads necessary.  (Also check that the volume on your HT is loud and K-plug is firmly seated).  One of my Baofengs required a little pocket knife work on the moulded K-plug before it would fully seat.
