Users, I'm a complete newbie to Ham and Chirp. Fairly savvy wrt to software.
This is the first time connecting UV-5R to Mac. Chirp starts fine and I do have Python installed.
When starting up Chirp, debug.log spits out...
Icon /usr/share/pixmaps/chirp.png not found
Initialized MacOS support
/Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/chirp/chirpw:128: PangoWarning: error opening config file '../Resources/etc/pango/pangorc': No such file or directory
Two items from that
output...
- I don't see a chirp.png in the /Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app tree.
- I don't see a pangorc in the /Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app tree.
I'm attempting to "Download from radio", I try the four port selections. I do have the USB cable plugged in and radio on. Also...
bash-3.2# pwd
/dev
bash-3.2# ls cu.Bluetooth-*
cu.Bluetooth-Modem
cu.Bluetooth-Serial-1
cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync cu.Bluetooth-Serial-2
I do have the vendor and model selected properly. It attempts to clone and then I see... "An error has occurred" "Radio did not respond". From debug.log I see...
User selected Baofeng UV-5R on port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-1

Any thoughts for a newbie? A video guide to watch for the first time?
Thanks!
