Description

How do you interface the Powerwerx DB-750 with CHIRP? I'm running MacOS 10.10 and am able to program my BaoFeng UV5 so I know that CHIRP is working.

The DB-750X came with a RTI PW1 cable. The Mac recognizes the cable as a USB device when I do a system report, but there don't seem to be drivers for it. RTI says they don't support the Mac, but offered RTSystemUSBSerialDrivers.pkg.mpkg. I installed it, but device doesn't show up in CHIRP so I can't connect. The cable and radio connect to the RTI application on a PC so I know cable and radio are working.

I'm using chirp-daily-2016-0412.

Since you say that the DB-750 is supported, there must be a way to connect. I've also tried the KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10 and PL2303_MacOSX_1.6.2_20160309.pkg

If this isn't the correct spot to ask for help, I apologize.
