I’ve installed several driver files recommended on different forums, the latest being the one recommended by Baofeng, the Prolific Technology driver.

I do a lot of work with Arduino, and I know the USB ports work properly. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling chirp, but no joy, it just isn’t seeing the USB port. I’m using chirp-daily-20170714.app which seems to be the newest version on the website. I’m running OS X 11.3 (High Sierra).</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Any help would be welcome.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Walt</div></body></html>
