The above ( /dev/cu.usbserial ) indicates that you have a programming cable with a Prolific type USB-to-Serial chip. Genuine Prolific chips are very rare in programming cable so the likelihood of your chip being an unauthorized copy is very high. In that case you need to purchase and use a 3rd party device driver. This is the one I bought and installed on my macBook Air to use with my large variety of programming cables with a "Prolific" chip.

Ah, interesting. I was taking for granted that driver-wise I was fine since I could download from the radio and I already installed the following ones as suggested in other discussions I read: - PL2303_MacOSX_v1.6.4_20200911.zip from http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/supportDownload.aspx?FileType=56&FileID=13... (I also tried PL2303HXD_G_Driver_v2_0_0_20191204.zip from http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 with similar results) - RTSystemsMacDriversV24.zip from http://www.rtsystems.us/drivers/
In case it may shed more light, the attachment shows the response of the “Serial Detect” app from mac-usb-serial.com.
I will give a try to their driver and report back. Apparently with the Sunday sale.
Thanks again,
