Actually, the RT20 has a USB-C plug. The cable is available from Retevis. I'm not sure what's in it, but I tried a straight USB cable and it didn't work. Attarently there's a serial chip (two?) In the cable. I'see if I can do some playing around and figure out what's in it

Any programming cable with a Kenwood style 2-pin plug on the radio end and a module containing a USB-to-Serial chip on the computer end should work. It is best to have one using an FTDI style chip because you can take advantage of the Apple native FTDI driver. Other chip brands may require the purchase of 3rd party drivers. Here are a few examples of FTDI chip based programming cables that should work.
