Having once successfully uploaded to the QYT radio (yes, I downloaded first then copy/past and uploaded to radio), I magically can not get the computer/radio to clone.
For Download to radio I Use:
PORT: /dev/cu.usbserial-1420 VENDOR: QYT MODEL: KT8900D
All software/drivers up to date. Anyone have an idea how I can use the computer/cable/radio set again???

This indicates that your programming cable has a chip that identifies itself as being a Prolific type chip. If it is the older PL2303XA / HXA chip it is no longer supported by drivers supplied by Prolific.
What can be done to get it to work on Catalina and older macOS is to purchase a 3rd party driver (that is what I did here for my MacBook running Catalina). https://www.mac-usb-serial.com/
For Big Sur you will probably have to get a programming cable manufactured with a different USB-to-Serial chip (FTDI, WCH, Silicon Labs, etc).
