What do you mean by CHIRP4 and CHIRP3? The very old "stable" builds (v0.4.x and v0.3.x from 2014 and before)? These should not be used. Today it is recommended that you download and install the MacOS Unified Application. > Having received the error, I tried to install the Prolific driver found here: > http://www.prolific.com.tw/us/showproduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 I am unclear > if the driver was needed or installed correctly. The drivers written by the Prolific company have dropped support for the older PL2303 XA chip that many generic programming cables use. To get around this issue with Windows you can simply download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver. It isn't that easy with macOS. What I did here to get around the issue was to purchase a Prolific driver from a 3rd party developer (https://www.mac-usb-serial.com/). The driver is not free, but it has been discounted 42% for quite some time for €6.90 (which was $9.11 when I purchased it). > Does anyone have experience with later versions of MacOS/CHIRP/FT-65R?
