I am trying to program my Kenwood TM281 for the first time. I'm using
Windows 10. I previously ran Chirp to program a Wouxon hand held and it
worked fine with that cable.
I have a Prolific cable I got from BlueMax49ers. The instructions said
it was a genuine Prolific chip and to use the latest drivers. So I
checked and it is using the latest drivers (3.8.28.0). When I started
Chirp, I plugged in the radio, and selected "Download from Radio". It
gave me a dialog with Com3 preselected, and I selected Kenwood and
TM281. When I clicked OK in the dialog, I get this message:
_*An ERROR Has Occurred*__*
*__*could not open port COM4: [Error 5] Access is denied.*_
I tried Com3, and got the same error.
_*An ERROR Has Occurred*__*
*__*could not open port COM3: [Error2] The System Cannot find The File
specified.*_
(this may be the original error, I don't know. I changed the com port to
Com4 before writing down what the original error was when it originally
went to Com3)
**_**_
I looked into Device Manager, and under Ports (Com and LPT) It says the
Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port (Com4)
I looked at the Properties and it says this:
Does this sound familiar?
