[chirp_users] FTDI based USB cables.

[Harrison Cooper]

FWIW, I purchased my cable on Ebay item #290761244715

It's a prolific chipset, no issues at all with the driver or the dual jack connector for the UV-5R radio

Unfortunately, it seems like it's almost every ham group that I read has this on-going saga.

In case it helps any one else, Valley Enterprises is in the process of converting all the cables they sell to be FTDI based.  Their site generally mentions FTDI and Windows 7 in the description of the cable so you can tell what you are ordering.  They are also available through Amazon.
