It's on the download page.<br>You need to install the Python runtime libs before you can <br>run the Chirp app. And also you need a cable driver.<br>If it's the Prolific PL2303 the driver can be found here:<br><br>http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/<br><br>It's in spanish but is an installer and the scenery is familiar enough<br>if you've installed other software that runs an installer. If the cable<br>is based on the FTDI chip there are instructions on where to download<br>it. Feel free to hit me off list if you have some setup questions should you<br>decide to run Chirp for Mac. <br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;

I have followed the directions as well as I could to make a USB drive, but can't see how to use it. Lots of files on the drive,
but nothing jumps out at me as a startup file. I hope some of the experts on this list can tell me where I am going wrong.</div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica;min-height:14px;"><br></div><div style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;font:normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica;">Morris KB6QR</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>chirp_users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br><a href="http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users" target="_blank">http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
