I don't have a MAC, but assuming the software is relatively the same across platforms, and that the cable you are using is good:

1. shut Chirp down

2. turn the radio off (might be a good idea to try another USB port on the computer here as well)

3. turn the radio back on

4. restart Chirp. At that point you need to:

5. select "radio" from the menu

5. select "download from radio" and finally,

6. press "OK".

That should get things moving.

Hello;
Get a welcome screen, but nothing is active, either file or radio. Have a Baofeng cable on a Mac Powerbook running Sonoma. Does popup menus need to be active?

Thanks
Ed

Am attempting to use chirp to program my Baofeng 5R+. Downloaded chirp, but no functionality at all.
