[chirp_users] Trying to get VOX working on an RT20

2023-12-26 Thread K Hindall 
Hello.

One of the reasons I bought a bunch of RT20s was that they supposedly 
come with VOX. Why on earth don't they preload it if the thing is 
advertised to come with it?

I am trying to talk to the radio via a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), 
running 10.15.7 (Catalina).

I have installed CHIRP legacy. I went to Download from Radio, but the 
RT20 isn't listed.

I am sorry if this is a repeat question, but I couldn't find a 
searchable version of the archives.

Thank you!

K

Any programming cable with a Kenwood style 2-pin plug on the radio end
and a module containing a USB-to-Serial chip on the computer end
should work. It is best to have one using an FTDI style chip because
you can take advantage of the Apple native FTDI driver. Other chip
brands may require the purchase of 3rd party drivers. Here are a few
examples of FTDI chip based programming cables that should work.

Actually, the RT20 has a USB-C plug. The cable is available from Retevis.  I'm 
not sure what's in it, but I tried a straight USB cable and it didn't work. 
Attarently there's a serial chip (two?) In the cable. I'see if I can do some 
playing around and figure out what's in it
