You don't have a properly working programming cable hooked up. The setup is probably lacking a compatible device driver. It is the chip in the programming cable paired with the device driver installed in Windows that creates the virtual COM port that CHIRP need to have available to be able to program your radio. If your programming cable was manufactured with a Prolific type UART chip, then you should take time to read this page. http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php Jim KC9HI _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list [email protected] http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to [email protected] at [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected]
