[chirp_users] TYT 9800 / chirp driver

[Al Jones]

Thanks for the suggestion, Todd.  I've tried using both ports on the front of the computer.  I've also used the two ports on the rear.  All of them return the same "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"

I've had one reply on the TYT Yahoo group suggesting I talk to RTSystems - but I couldn't get a straight answer out of them regarding the TYT cable or their own.  Hope she was just having a bad day.  Needless to say I didn't buy either their cable or their program.

Al,

 

Are you using the same USB port that you currently use for the Baofeng? I recently helped a friend with his 9800, and I use a baofeng. If you have the 3.2.0.0 installed and using on a certain port. Try using the TYT cord on that same port.

I need some ideas here.  I have a Baofeng UV82L that I program with Chirp and have no problem cloning this for the various UV5? radios that people have around here.  I'm comfortable with Chirp.

 

Recently purchased a TYT 9800; I have no problem programming that from the front panel, but I'm a computer junky and it's normally easier to enter / fix radio data programmatically.

 

Running Windows 10, updated; have a cable that claims to be a TYT (the label on the cable); when plugged in device manager reports "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"

The Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver announces itself as being available on com 4 when the Baofeng cable is plugged in; however I see no com ports available for the TYT - I have not been able to get either the driver that came with the disk or the one available fro Grapevine (retailer in Dallas) to install.

 

Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated.  I'm at a loss.
