Thanks for the input, I am using a RT systems cable for the FT60r and a knock off brand for the FT7900, I’ve ordered the RT systems for the FT7900 so will see if that fixes the problem

Should I be able to use the software with 2 different radio’s? I can’t confirm or reject if it is the cable. I have tried to install a separate instance of Chirp but I get the same error message “could not open port /dev/cu.usbserial-RT0UYFJC: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/cu.usbserial-RT0UYFJC’ yet this is the same connection on the FT60r. I am also using this on a Mac Book high Sierra
