<p>Then it doesn't sound like it is installed and working. Have you used CHIRP successfully other FTDI programming cables? Do you have the prerequisite "KK7DS Python":<a href="http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg">http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg</a> runtime for Mac OSX installed?</p>
<p>See the Troubleshooting section of the "MacOS_Tips":<a href="https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips">https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips</a> wiki page.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the response. </p>
<p>I did a ls /dev/cu* in the Terminal and this is the result:<br>
/dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port /dev/cu.SOC<br>
/dev/cu.MALS</p>
<p>System Report shows (see attached)</p>
<p>Installed KK7DS Python runtime and installed chirp-daily-20180204.app. I have not tried any other FTDI programming cables, just the Baofeng UV-5R programming cable Model:B00CP01474. </p>
<p>Just not sure what else I can do or try. I am a novice by the way, in case it doesn't already show. :)</p>

<ul></ul><p>So it look to me like you have a programming cable with a Prolific USB-to-TTL chip. An FTDI driver would be of little use. Most programming cables that report having a Prolific type chip actually have a counterfeit version of the Prolific chip. The latest Prolific driver for OSX is designed to be incompatible with counterfeit Proliric chips.</p>
