Update: I am now using CHIRP-next.
But I am completely baffled. The radio is not talking to CHIRP, but I am baffled regarding the cable.
Can someone tell me what cable I need to connect from the RT20 to a USB 2.0 port?
Thank you!

Any programming cable with a Kenwood style 2-pin plug on the radio end and a module containing a USB-to-Serial chip on the computer end should work. It is best to have one using an FTDI style chip because you can take advantage of the Apple native FTDI driver. Other chip brands may require the purchase of 3rd party drivers. Here are a few examples of FTDI chip based programming cables that should work.
