[chirp_users] Prolific Update

[Bill Gabbard]

Jim,
Thanks, that's what I thought I read some where.  My cable came with radio & is working flawlessly thus far, so I'll leave as is. So why mess with something not broke.
Thanks again,
Bill

PS: Did you get my email regarding antennas for the UV-5RA?

  No. Do not update.


  Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip in it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will detect the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the older driver that does not perform this check.
