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

[Milton Hywatt]

You have no cable driver installed that is recognized, If your cable 
has a Prolific 2303 chip go here:
http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/
and download the installer. It's in spanish but if you've installed 
from a pkg installer you will recognize the ritual. Once installed then
select that port in Chirp, then the vendor and the radio. Contact me 
off list if you need additional help. 

Milton

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
Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 01 25 98 4d 00   P...%.M.

Radio did not respond
Sending Magic: 000: 50 bb ff 20 12 07 25 00   P.....%.

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

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

Thanks!

Jim
