Can't get Chirp to work, can anyone help?
The problem is that when I connect the radio to the sync cable the radio goes into transmit mode and nothing can be done. It looks like the pgm works but not the communication with radio, can you help?
Also, I am using a MAC.

Make sure you push the data cable all the way in and that it is seated properly.

There has been a user mod for this problem. Some sync/usb cables do not seat all of the way in. To fix this problem, take a razor blade, exacto knife, etc, and gently trim the plastic or rubber from the edge so that the plug will seat all of the way in. I did this on mine and have never had any more problems. Please pass this info on to all of the readers as it might HELP with the problems that plague some of them!!! 73 ED

Hi Mats,
I'm not a MAC user. But I seem to remember reading in the UV-5R group that a MAC user had the same issue with the ratio going into transmit with the programming cable plugged into the radio. I believe the fix was to acquire and install the correct driver.
Like the drivers for the Windows PC, you have to install a particular driver to work the USB-to-Serial chips that are commonly used in the cheaper (but not always cheaper) programming cables. Check the CHIRP wiki. It has a recently updated list of driver sources that you should try.

If it's a Prolific PL 2303 this driver was reported to work on OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.4, 64 or 32 bit. I thought I read that back a few weeks ago. http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/
Just had a look and it's in Spanish LOL. There are translators online that should take care of that problem.
