So my brand new Baofeng arrived last week and I thought I had beat the system and found a $6 USB cable online at Walmart. I plugged it in and fired up the radio and.... nothing. So now I have resigned myself to purchase the official $20 cable with the correct chip. Here is my question: Will the appropriate cable work with my Mac (running Mojave) or will I need to download additional drivers to make the correct cable work.
I have downloaded CHIRP and when I try to clone I get an error message that it did not read the radio.
The current USB is not being read by Finder or in my About Mac.
The cable that I got from walmart had a CD that came with it. It looked like it had three different drivers, but they were all windows based (exc?)
And yes, I'm new to all of this in case it wasn't obvious by this point
any help is greatly appreciated.
