Thanks for the tip. I actually have a keyspan serial port on my system. I’ll see If I can find a 9 pin everything else cable. But I mostly use a prolific device too, only because has a Kenwood style plug. Whats really odd is that I dont any issues with any other radios other than the KG-UV8* series, chirp won’t get stuck. No issues with all the Baofeng, Btech, Yaesu’s Windows VM running under MacOs as can use the Wouxun KG-UV8* driver is fine too. Thats why Im kinda not thinking its entirely a serial driver issue, but more an interaction with that chirp code than anything. I might still be wrong . Lynda
