Thanks Jim. I am based in Wales UK and had gone to bed by the time your mail arrived (along with several others that followed)
Armed with the clues you gave me, long story short, I have found through Apple support an app provided by Prolific which gets the port working. Having installed the app the Chirp ‘help me’ function told me that the radio was the VOX version and on switching to that a port was found and I have downloaded the radio’s settings. The link for the app is https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/pl2303-serial/id1624835354?l=en&mt=12 Thanks to every one for your help. Looking forward to getting familiar with the radio and starting my Amateur Radio qualification quest.
