I'm familiar with the above issue. Chirp and the programming cable (FTDI USB serial adaptor and Kenwood compatible cable) work fine with everything else I have and is set to COM4. > Does the factory programming software work? So far I've not managed to find this anywhere. I've contacted the seller and awaiting their response. https://baofengradio.co.uk is the site where I saw some of the software available but it's offline today. Thanks for your help so far Jim. 73, Nick. _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to arch...@mail-archive.com at arch...@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscr...@intrepid.danplanet.com
