Ah, interesting. I was taking for granted that driver-wise I was fine since I could download from the radio and I already installed the following ones as suggested in other discussions I read:
- PL2303_MacOSX_v1.6.4_20200911.zip from http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/supportDownload.aspx?FileType=56&FileID=133&pcid=85&Page=0 (I also tried PL2303HXD_G_Driver_v2_0_0_20191204.zip from http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 with similar results)
- RTSystemsMacDriversV24.zip from http://www.rtsystems.us/drivers/

In case it may shed more light, the attachment shows the response of the “Serial Detect” app from mac-usb-serial.com.

I will give a try to their driver and report back. Apparently with the Sunday sale.

Thanks again,

Giulio
