I had similar problem with getting the cloning software to work but the problem was my USB to Serial adapter. I went to Frys and got a Belkin USB/Serial adapter and it worked the first time I tried it. I use port 5 and be sure to have the baud rate set at 9600. This is with an ID-800 H with Rev 2 software.

Dan, I think you've run into the reason most cables sold for radio programming are still Serial. Yes most computers don't come with Serial ports anymore, but USB to Serial seems to be a very black art both for the programmer and hardware vendor. I suggest that you buy or make an OPC478 on a db9 connector, and then find a USB to Serial adaptor that has a driver someone else has said works with your OS and hardware. I've got a Keyspan serial adaptor that works 100% with all my Mac applications, and all but one thing I've tried it with on Windows. however it will not work with my ic-w32A programming software from RT systems. It works fine with the open source Q7A X11 programmer, it worked when booted into windows via bootcamp to program my tinytrak 2, it works in parallels/windows with Icoms RS-92 for my ic92ad and in Mac OS with D-RATS, but not that one program. When I want to use that software I borrow a different brand of USB to Serial adaptor from our test lab. The conversion chipset/driver Icom picked and built in to that adaptor just doesn't appear to work with your setup, but since it's integrated you can't just swap it out. I'm sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I'm fairly sure you can program your radios if you just get a different cable and separate USB <-> Serial adaptor. If you decide to use them as clay pigeons, I'll trade you a whole box of clays for the radios :-) 73, -debbie, n9dn On Oct 23, 2008, at 19:53, djs13 wrote: > I need help with using the OPC478UC drivers. > > Any, ANY ideas on how to convince Windows that these drivers are > viable would really help!
