[chirp_users] QYT 8900r

[Larry Lovell]

Ok, this is the latest.  I downloaded some software called Free Device
Monitoring Studio.
I was able to read using CHIRP CHIRP daily-20160415.  It collected some
data files, but CHIRP did not record what was in the radio.
I will try Portmon on my XP laptop tomorrow, but I will send the data file
to see if it helps.
Getting the Prolific Cable to work has been a real challenge, but it
appears to be working at this time on my Windows 10 PC.
I will send it to http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/3547 as a file.  I
zipped it, but it disappeared.  Bad day.
Good news this version of CHIRP did read and save the data on second try.
