might look over this thread '[chirp_users] Please post'.<div><br></div><div>i have chirp working on an imac running osx 10.7.4 (now 10.7.5). here is the driver i'm using:</div><div><br></div><div><div style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
unfortunately i can't link directly to the driver--that would be too easy by far. the main page is: <a href="http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/CustomerLogin.aspx" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/CustomerLogin.aspx</a> and then you have to hit the support tab, then login using guest/guest. then you can get to the driver page and select the mac driver that matches your os version. i'm using 10.7.4 (lion).</div>

if the installer works right, when you try to transfer from the radio to chirp you should see '/dev/cu.usbserial' as an option. i found a quirk where i couldn't upload to radio unless it was in vfo mode.</div>

I'm new to Chirp, and enthusiastic about the possibilities, but<br>
if it can't write to my radio, my enthusiasm will wane quickly.<br>
There has to be too many of these out there for it not to be<br>
a problem with my setup, but I'm not sure where to start.<br>
<br>
Setup:<br>
New MacBook running OSX 10.8.2. Chirp is 0.2.3.<br>
Cable is from eBay, using a PL2303 chip, driver obtained from your pointer, I think.<br>
Fairly new Yaesu FT-60, 12 memories used.<br>
Trying to load another 100 for the local standardized CERT list, massaged<br>
from a spreadsheet into a .csv format that Chirp finally seems happy with, and<br>
which looks sane in the Chirp display.<br>
<br>
I am able to read the FT60 into Chirp just fine, and repeatedly, no errors.<br>
What I see in Chirp is pretty much what I expected to see.<br>
After massaging, I tried to write it back. I think I've got the dance right:<br>
Put the FT60 in clone Rx mode and then hit the OK button in Chirp's<br>
Upload popup. [ Just for grins I tried it in the "wrong" order, that doesn't<br>
work either. ]<br>
<br>
Nothing happens. The FT60 stays in Rx mode as though nobody has<br>
tried comm with it. No progress bar as with a radio/radio clone, and no<br>
error display. Just waiting in Rx, forever.<br>
<br>
The Upload popup in Chirp disappears, there looks to be a flash of a small popup<br>
too fast to read, and nada. The radio, after power off/on, still has the original 12<br>
memories programmed, but nothing else. No error messages I can see.<br>
<br>
I tried a different FT60, same result. Reseated the cable several times.<br>
The cable is plausibly suspect (I don't have another), but I don't think it<br>
can read and not write, it needs both data directions for either, doesn't it?<br>
<br>
I can't find any debug information within Chirp or the Mac console logs,<br>
but maybe I don't know where to look. The "raw data" in the developer tools<br>
just looked like a very short data structure, nothing that looked meaningful<br>
to me. Please advise how I can go about troubleshooting this, or what I might<br>
be doing wrong.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
