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

[Paul Plasters]

Hello,
I finally , with help from several others found that the right cable/driver makes chirp work great.  after getting that all straightened out, I plugged the cable into the radio, and computer, then I downloaded the program put into the radio by the manufacturer.  Next, i edited that same program with the frequencies I wanted, and uploaded it into the radio.  It really was that easy.  Then I plugged the cable into the radio I bought for my wife, and it cloned the radio.  Now all I have to say to her is "go to channel XX" and we can chat as needed.  Pretty good huh?  Paul

Hi y'all,
Just got a JB UV 55 radio, it's basically the "car" version of the UV 5 R, seems to even have the same channel / memory structure.  Does anyone out there have any Experiance on how to program it through Chirp?

Appreciate your support

Users,

So, it turns out, every cable has a needs an unique driver.  The cable I have can be seen here - http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Cable-Baofeng-UV-5R-Driver/dp/B008RZJHJU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381801314&sr=8-1&keywords=uv-5r+cable  

If that is the case, one needs a driver from - http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/

Thanks!

Sounds like you don't have a driver loaded for the cable that gives you
a serial device. Usually
 /dev/cu.*.
