Chirp uses the same source code on every operating system, so we can<br>
rule out Chirp code as the source of this issue. What differs between<br>
operating systems is the USB serial driver. My guess the driver you<br>
have installed in OS X is not 100% compatible with the chip in your<br>
cable and the software and your cable stopped communicating partway<br>
through the transfer. I don't know much about your cable, but you<br>
might look into installing a different driver.<br>
<br>
If it only happened once, it's also possible this was a transient<br>
error that you'll never see again (maybe a dirty connection to the<br>
radio).<br>
