Jim, you have far more experience than I do. I am simply observing what I see at the Miklor site: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Technical.php#progcable I wired up a cable based on these diagrams and it worked for my Baofeng UV-5RA. Basically radio speaker out --> computer serial in, computer serial out --> radio mic in, radio gnd <--> computer gnd, It just works. Maybe there are other hookups If so, where do they connect at the radio end? some place other than speaker out and mic in?
Incidentally, on my Yaesu FT-4, there is a separate signal for data. It is on the mic jack's ring, which is not connected in the FT-4's speaker/min cable but is connected in its data cable.

Good Evening Everyone; I am running into an issue trying to get my Baofang UV-5R to clone to
CHIRP. I am currently running the newest version on mac v10.14.5 and have downloaded and attempted to use all the drivers mentioned on the CHIRP website and any other blogs I could find discussing the issue. The cable I am using is "BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Programming Cable for BTECH, BaoFeng, Kenwood, and AnyTone Radio" off amazon. If you go to the Baofang website it redirects you to this cable on amazon. Overall I am just stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your time and consideration.
Cheers! Justin
Hi Justin,
Have you downloaded and installed the KK7DS Python runtime for Mac OSX? See the "MacOS Users" section on the CHIRP download page.
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download
If you truly have the BTECH PC03 FTDI programming cable, there should be no drivers to download. The native Apple FTDI driver should be sufficient. See the "FTDI cables" section of the "MacOS_Tips" page.

If the above doesn't help, then look at the "Troubleshooting" section of the "MacOS_Tips" page.
If you still have issues, then provide information like, the error messages, outputs from "ls /dev/cu*", etc.
