[chirp_users] BF 888S Failure To Program

[John LaMartina]

The “Error has occurred” message usually means that you plugged the cable into a different USB port.
The driver does not follow the cable. If you plug the cable into a different port, Win7 will load the Newest driver to that slot, which will not work.

Refer to the FAQ section at the bottom of http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

I hope this helps.

I am using old driver. It seems related to Windows 7 as it previously worked OK with XP.

If your cable shows Prolific, roll your cable driver to 3.2.0.0.  See if that works.

Using chirp I get message  "An error Occurred"  Radio Refuses to enter programing mode when trying to download radio settings. Works OK with ZT-Vrom Miklor.

 

I had software on old computer running Win XP and all worked fine. Now on new computer with Windows 7 we have this problem. I have good driver and good cable.   

 

Are others experiencing this problem also using windows 7?
