Description
I am receiving the dreaded "Failed to communicate with radio: failed to read header message" in Chirp daily 20170714. I darn near threw my Mac onto the concrete out of sheer frustration. I have a masters' degree in IT management, and am proficient with Macs, yet failed to make this work. Please make something USER friendly - something with step-by-step instructions would be much appreciated. I shed tears over trying to get the cable recognized by MacOS. I'm using the RT Systems Cable I picked up at HRO in Oakland. There has to be a way to make this work without resorting to Windows.
Thanks!

I also forgot to mention that Chirp works flawlessly with my Baofengs. My Yaesu is the only thing giving me fits.
