It's in Spanish<br>but if you have used the installer method you'll recognized the 4 or 5 steps. If not use a translator. <br>But it's pretty simple because the installer is the same for any software or drivers written for OSX. <br><br>http://changux.co/osx-installer-to-pl2303-serial-usb-on-osx-lio/<br><div><span><br></span></div><div><br></div> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Colby Teller

I'm using a Mac, OSX 10.8.5, and have already installed the PL2023 USB-Serial driver successfully (I believe). I obtained the driver from: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"

<div><br></div><div>I now see '/dev/cu.usbserial' in the Port field when attempting to download from the radio (which I didn't see before installing the driver). However, when I actually attempt to download, the 'Cloning' modal shows for a few seconds w/o progress, then I see the "Radio did not respond" error. The USB cable is an "official" Baofeng cable that I received with the radios from a trusted reseller, and is definitely seated correctly. I've tried using different USB ports, turning the radio on/off, restarting several times, etc. but just cannot get the radio to talk to my Mac.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm really hoping you guys can help; we have a race this weekend and if I can't get the comms working, I'm in a world of crap.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Colby</div>
