Not quite my experience. Note I'm the author of the second link below, under "Modify OS X driver". That's what I _ENDED UP_ doing, because it amused me, and there were some small benefits, as that post explains.
However, go back to earlier in that same thread, here: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2012-September/002585.ht...
You can get this working in a turnkey manner by loading the Mac driver that RT systems provides. And BTW, I don't know where you got your RT Systems cable, but it likely comes with a CD with the Windows driver you need.
In the middle of that post is the link you want for the Mac driver: http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=9 and if you search around on that same support site, I think you'll find the windows drivers. Here: http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/kb_results.asp?ID=15
If you want more details, please read those two posts, and maybe some more of that same thread.

Hello Dan :)
The cable is CT29B Radio Cable:
CT29B Radio Cable:
Product ID: 0x9e54 Vendor ID: 0x2100 Version: 6.00 Serial Number: RTWA39NN Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Manufacturer: RT Systems Location ID: 0xfa123000 / 8 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): 90
RT Systems cables are designed to work *only* with RT Systems software. There are two options for getting this cable to work with any other programming software: modify your OS X driver, or modify your cable. I modified my cable (this is a firmware mod, no soldering required).
Modify the cable's FTDI firmware: http://intrepid.danplanet.com/pipermail/chirp_users/2013-January/002988.html
