Pete,
I suspect it IS a driver problem of some sort. However, I should say that I did not install the Prolific driver, the OS just recognized the cable when it was installed. When I open CHIRP, the dropdown menu in the download dialog does not show anything other than a Bluetooth port, suggesting that CHIRP doesn't see the cable or its driver.

Bob,
Per below, Mavericks is seeing your cable, so that removes the capable as a problem. CHIRP almost certainly not your problem. This narrows the issue down to this being a driver issue. It is almost always is the darned driver and finding the right one.
I suggest that you try the Mac OS X, new to Mavericks, built in serial driver. You select: /dev/cu.usbserial-A702RBLF in CHIRP
I’ve been told by FTDI support (I’m not using Prolific) that all other drivers must be removed with attempting to use Apple’s new built in driver. If you have multiple drivers installed that could be your problem even though the right one might be there.
How to uninstall drivers? Google search something like: How to uninstall (your driver name)
