Bob, Where would I start, I've tried chirp on two different Mac's and I believed I was using the correct drivers for each machine (each has different OS versions). I've gone to Miklor.com as well and believed I had the correct drivers per each respective operating system. Any other source I overlooked?

Those are all bluetooth ports. The correct port will probably say something like /dev/cu.USB-Serial. Perhaps you need to find and install the correct driver.

Just for reference: https://amzn.com/B00HUB0ONK

I got this cable with my BF-F8HP in May, and it works splendidly on OSX 10.11 with no driver installation needed. The port simply shows up in the list. I specifically ordered that particular cable from that particular vendor on the advice of others who had success... who had also been frustrated with other cables. The temptation to order one of the cheaper ones was great, but for $20 I've never had any trouble, was well worth it.

It appears that you do not have a compatible driver installed for your programming cable. Nothing with "bluetooth" in it would be the correct choice.

Like Windows users, the official Prolific drivers are designed to be incompatible with unauthorized Prolific chip copies. The workaround for Mac users (except for those running El Capitan) is to install one of the generic Prolific drivers referenced on the "MacOS_Tips" page.
