CHIRP

Jim,
Thanks for the update. I have tried every which way to roll the drive back for this thing with no luck. By chance, is there a .INF for the driver? I installed the executable with no luck to choose what driver want. I guess on a side note, what cable could i buy to avoid all of this?

Thanks,

Chris

Jim,
Yes I did that however there is only one driver listed there, the one from windows. I am unable to select the one installed by the executable. It's interesting, I have had to do this for other devices and it's not working as I would expect. I do make it to the "have disk" option where i can browse for an INF, so possible if i knew where they were installed to i can browse there. I will give it a go on another machine and see. I have one that's a pretty fresh install I did not too long ago.

I helped someone yesterday that had installed the older Prolific device driver and it didn't work. It turned out the issue was that the chip in their programming cable was a WCH CH340 and not the Prolific chip. After they downloaded and installed the WCH driver, they were able to clone their radio.

Jim,
Thats the exact chip I have as well. Where can those drivers be found? Thank you!

I should also add that in the Device Manager it does show up as the CH340 with just the PNP drivers in windows.

Except for Prolific drivers, I prefer to get them directly from the chip vendor's website. For the WCH English website it would be "Jiangsu Qinheng Co., Ltd.":http://www.wch-ic.com/ ("CH341SER.ZIP":http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_ZIP.html or "CH341SER.EXE":http://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/CH341SER_EXE.html).
