The app itself isn't very robust but its user interface is simple, and altering things like communication parameters is easy. Use it to determine if there is any activity whatsoever at the serial port. In circumstances such as yours I reduce complexity as much as practicable, and toward that end I suggest downloading a simple serial communications app such as SerialTools. That leads me to believe the roadblock preventing communication lies in the CHIRP software and / or the radio or any connection cables involved. The Prolific driver is one of two common USB to serial devices used on macOS and the fact it appears in System Profile indicates it's doing everything you can expect it to do. Perhaps I should give up but I get an itch every so often which makes me think that it must be possible.įirst, the bad news: I am not familiar with CHIRP or the Baofeng radio, but from what you describe I think you're on the right track.
I keep finding accounts from people who have achieved it but there is never any way to follow the process fully with links to the right drivers or whatever. I trawled through everything I could find on the Prolific website and downloaded what seemed to be the relevant drivers but still, there is no communication between CHIRP and the radio.
Vendor ID:Đx067b (Prolific Technology, Inc.) Just recently, I thought I would have another go and bought a cable which appears in System Profile as: I'm sure there is a way to get the at least one cable recognised but up until now, I have sent them all back when I have exhausted all apparent possibilities. I have bought a number of USB to Serial cables and tried various drivers as recommended on the CHIRP website and the labyrinths I have entered on my quest. I have three versions of OS X at my disposal on different devices, Catalina, El Capitan and Snow Leopard so any solution which would work would satisfy me! I have been trying to use CHIRP software on several Macs and a Baofeng UV-5R for about three years without any success.
