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: http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 I've also confirmed that the USB-serial driver appears to be installed correctly, as described here: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://plugable.com/2011/07/12/installing-a-usb-serial-adapter-on-mac-os-x">http://plugable.com/2011/07/12/installing-a-usb-serial-adapter-on-mac-os-x</a></div>

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>
