Hello, I finally , with help from several others found that the right cable/driver makes chirp work great. after getting that all straightened out, I plugged the cable into the radio, and computer, then I downloaded the program put into the radio by the manufacturer. Next, i edited that same program with the frequencies I wanted, and uploaded it into the radio. It really was that easy. Then I plugged the cable into the radio I bought for my wife, and it cloned the radio. Now all I have to say to her is "go to channel XX" and we can chat as needed. Pretty good huh? Paul

Users,
So, it turns out, every cable has a needs an unique driver. The cable I have can be seen here - http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Cable-Baofeng-UV-5R-Driver/dp/B008RZJHJU/r...
If that is the case, one needs a driver from - http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/

I'm attempting to "Download from radio", I try the four port selections.
Sounds like you don't have a driver loaded for the cable that gives you a serial device. Usually /dev/cu.*.
