[chirp_users] OS-X 10.8.5 and RTS cable for VX7

[Angela Hawse]

Thanks for the help and suggestions.  Milton has been very helpful.  We have yet to solve the problem.  
I am on a Mac OSX 10.8.5.  I am using the RTS cable but cannot use the software with my Mac, that is why I am hopeful that Chirp will be the solution.  
Chirp recognizes the cable when I attempt to download/upload to my VX7R, but… 
it stalls out on download and my HT jumps out of Clone Rx mode to VFO 430.000 and Chirp freezes.
Chirp successfully downloaded 100+ frequencies with names, tones, etc off of my radio onto my computer.
Now my radio is empty.  These programs were all painstakingly hand programed.
Milton and I have been problem-solving, but have yet to understand why the cable will download from my radio,
and not upload.  Any other suggestions for use of cables with Mac OSX would be appreciated and if you would like to contact me off the list, please do.
