[chirp_users] iMAC (latest OS) Baofeng UV-5RE Plus USB Supplied cable

[Jim Hofmann]

Users,  I'm a complete newbie to Ham and Chirp.  Fairly savvy wrt to software.  

This is the first time connecting UV-5R to Mac.  Chirp starts fine and I do have Python installed.  

When starting up Chirp, debug.log spits out...

Icon /usr/share/pixmaps/chirp.png not found
Initialized MacOS support
/Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/chirp/chirpw:128: PangoWarning: error opening config file '../Resources/etc/pango/pangorc': No such file or directory

Two items from that output...
-  I don't see a chirp.png in the /Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app tree.
-  I don't see a pangorc in the /Applications/chirp-0.3.1.app tree.

I'm attempting to "Download from radio", I try the four port selections.  I do have the USB cable plugged in and radio on.  Also...

bash-3.2# pwd
/dev
bash-3.2# ls cu.Bluetooth-*
cu.Bluetooth-Modemcu.Bluetooth-Serial-1
cu.Bluetooth-PDA-Synccu.Bluetooth-Serial-2

I do have the vendor and model selected properly.  It attempts to clone and then I see...  "An error has occurred"  "Radio did not respond".  From debug.log I see...

User selected Baofeng UV-5R on port /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Serial-1
Clone thread started

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Any thoughts for a newbie?  A video guide to watch for the first time?

Thanks!

Jim
