Description

CHIRP has been working fine for me for several months. I just got a new radio and went to program it and got this message "could not open port COM6: [Error 5] Access is denied" I have tried searching for an answer on Google, uninstalling the device on the com port and trying again, and in general monkeying around with it. I am running Windows 10. Any help would be great. Thanks.

PS. I first thought it might be an issue with the new radio so I have tried other radios I have reprogrammed several times including a UV-5R+, UV-82, and UV-82hp. I am trying to program a new UV-82HP but none of my old radios will connect either.

I have no idea what the problem was but I was able to figure out how to switch com ports and it is working now.
