[C.S. Arthur]

 to Scott Brady:  my cheap junk programming cable that refused to work had an ‘official’ looking Baofeng label on it.  the 12 dollar special i bought from BaoTech or one of those real Baofeng vendors works flawlessly. dont be misled by labels

(Baofeng UV-5TPS)

> Hi Scott,

> I use a Mac regularly to run CHIRP.  However, unless your cable is a _real_ FTDI cable, you are likely going to run into driver issues.  MacOS includes drivers for FTDI.  No additional driver downloads necessary.  (Also check that the volume on your HT is loud and K-plug is firmly seated).  One of my Baofengs required a little pocket knife work on the moulded K-plug before it would fully seat.
