Click on the USB section and fid the cable. The not the name and model number, do a search for that and down load it, and make sure that it installs. restart you computer and you should be able to program you radio.

So I went into System Information and I can see "USB Serial Controller" under Hardware/USB. Now what driver do I need so Chirp will see the cable.
Thanks for the help.

Having programed about 150 of these radios (for my club, and most on a Mac), and using a multitude of different cables, I have never found a bad cable.
What I have found is you need to get the right driver.
On a Mac, this is done by plugging cable in, going to the “About this Mac”, getting a “System report”, and looking for your cable in the “USB” section of the “Hardware” section.
Download the driver.
Unless the Mac is really old, this should work.

DI'm very curious how you came to that conclusion based on Jim's comment.
While Jim's suggestion will work fine, what I'm going to recommend (again) is the opposite. As described in the link in my last message, uninstall Apple's FTDI driver since it conflicts with FTDI's FTDI driver. The goal is to leave only FTDI's FTDI driver on your system, no conflicts.

Agreed. One way or the other, there should only be one FTDI driver installed.
