ok, it must be a bad cable. I received a new kawamall cable for my vx7r and it works just fine downloading from the radio. I will now order a new cable for the 8800 and go from there!
Thanks for your work on this! Now i can stop running windows on my mac. That was the last bit of software i needed to have available on my mac.

When I have the kawamall device plugged in this is the one shows up in the list, if I unplug the device this one is no longer available.
Okay, I'd still like to see the debug log.
Here's something you can try, to rule out issues with the cable, adapter, radio, and driver:
Find a terminal program and connect it to your /dev/cu.usbserial device, at 9600 baud. Then initiate your clone from the radio side and see if you see the model header show up in the terminal. For the FT-8800, this should be "AH018". If you see it, then we can start looking at CHIRP. If you don't then you should start looking at the above-mentioned links in the chain.
Thanks!
