The RT Systems program that I have finds the correct port by it's self, I suspect yours does too. If the program says it can't find it, then it's the wrong driver or cable. That means there's an incompatibility in the OS or machine set up. Which typically means a driver. Get to the 'Device Manager' and see what's going on there. That's done through the 'Start' button or try the 'Ctrl'+'shift'+'ESC' short cut (supposed to work on all Windows OS).

As for using that same cable with 'Chirp', I have to suspect that you can't. Depends on if the cable is the old version or the new version, there is definitely a difference in drivers. (And why there's a 'new' version, deals with the 'chip' used in the cable's construction and 'driver+OS compatibility.)

[QUOTE="W5LZ, post: 408899, member: 129"] The RT Systems program that I have finds the correct port by it's self, I suspect yours does too. If the program says it can't find it, then it's the wrong driver or cable. That means there's an incompatibility in the OS or machine set up. Which typically means a driver. Get to the 'Device Manager' and see what's going on there. That's done through the 'Start' button or try the 'Ctrl'+'shift'+'ESC' short cut (supposed to work on all Windows OS). As for using that same cable with 'Chirp', I have to suspect that you can't. Depends on if the cable is the old version or the new version, there is definitely a difference in drivers.
