I am currently running the newest version on mac v10.14.5 and have downloaded and attempted to use all the drivers mentioned on the CHIRP website and any other blogs I could find discussing the issue. The cable I am using is "BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Programming Cable for BTECH, BaoFeng, Kenwood, and AnyTone Radio" off amazon. If you go to the Baofang website it redirects you to this cable on amazon. Overall I am just stuck, any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi Justin,

Have you downloaded and installed the KK7DS Python runtime for Mac
OSX? See the "MacOS Users" section on the CHIRP download page.

If you truly have the BTECH PC03 FTDI programming cable, there should
be no drivers to download. The native Apple FTDI driver should be
sufficient. See the "FTDI cables" section of the "MacOS_Tips" page.

If the above doesn't help, then look at the "Troubleshooting" section
of the "MacOS_Tips" page.

If you still have issues, then provide information like, the error
messages, outputs from "ls /dev/cu*", etc.
