[chirp_users] Chirp, Mac, and Yaesu Ft-60R
Hi, I am having a difficult time setting up Chirp to work with my FT-60R. I am running an older Macbook pro with OS X High Sierra 10.13.6. I have two USB/FTDI cables, one by Valley Enterprises and one by Maxtop.
It worked before, but after updating to Chirp Daily-20210520, I get error codes. I checked for the installed driver in Terminal and have ( 170 0 0xffffff7f833ed000 0x7000 0x7000 com.FTDI.driver.FTDIUSBSerialDriver (2.4.4) B137605C-32D8-3E81-89B6-E1F8039FC427). However, this driver does not show up in Chirp. I only see: /dev/cu./usbserial-AL0657ZO and another for Bluetooth.
I was able to load an old Chirp image, but it was difficult to arrange and reorder repeaters imported from Repeaterbook. Chirp stalled, and, when I checked my Mac, it indicated the software wasn't responding.
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. After programming the FT-60R, I would also like to use Chirp to program my Yaesu FT-857D.

Frank, I, too, have an old Mac and I took off the Apple OS off of it and replaced it with Ubuntu Linux and all my troubles went away. Performance is better, too. No drivers needed. Of course, that may not work for you if you need Mac programs so your mileage may vary.
Thanks, David, KD7UCH@gmail.com
