<p>You don't have your programming cable properly installed. When programming a UV-5R, you do not use a Bluetooth port.</p>

<ul></ul><p>What do I need to do to properly install the cable? I knew the Bluetooth port couldn't be right but I do not know how or what I need to do to make it work.<br>

<p>I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac OS X driver for my operating system. (El Capitan)<br>
I can go into my system information and it says that it is installed.<br>
But when I open the CHIRP program the only drop down option that shows up still is the Bluetooth port.<br>
The cable I assume is working because the lights on my radio turn red like it should.<br>
I can plug a USB phone charger in and the drop down port option will show something is plugged in, so CHIRP is recognizing my USB ports. <br>
I have no idea what else to try. <br>
Does it matter what Mac USB Driver I download? Right now I have the FTDI D2XX installed (which is from what I have read the one I need for El Capitan)</p>

<ul></ul><p>I'm not a Mac user so I am not much help. I have read where when you have and FTDI based programming cable, one solution is to not install the Future Technology Devices International driver and use the native Apple FTDI driver. But it was mentioned on the [chirp_users] mailing list within the last week that offered a different solution. I think I found "the link here":<a href="https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ftdi-drivers/mac">https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ftdi-drivers/mac</a>.</p>
