But I will try your suggestion, hang on a sec...<br>Ok I'm back. Right click - Open gives you the selection to open from an unidentified developer. Maybe Jens<br>can fix that. I'm running 64 bit OSX Mavericks 10.9 and a recent but not shiny new daily build I it's <br>chirp-daily-20131031. Installer went smooth. Said it would yank all other PL2303 drivers which it did and left<br>me with this one /dev/cu.PL2303-000013FA. Plugged the cable in, opened Chirp, selected the driver and<br>it read the radio perfectly. I then transfered the read data back to the radio, a KGUV6D-V2. Thanks for the <br>advise on the right click on the package. I'm going to CC this to the group, some Mac users might find<br>my input
either useful or annoying. Oh and on the MBP you can use a double finger gesture tap on the touchpad<br>to get a right click. And hats off to Jens for redoing the working driver in English. <br><br>Milton. <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> Bob Nielsen <n7xy@clearwire.net><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Milton Hywatt <mhywattt@yahoo.com>; Discussion of CHIRP <chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Thursday, December 5, 2013 1:43 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re:
