[chirp_users] Baofeng 888s cable issue

[Ronny Julian]

Wish I could say that any of the above worked.  I verified the driver
version after the EXE installed it.  Made sure the cable was plugged in
tight.  No difference.  Tried 4 radios.  All go to TX.  I'll build a Linux
box this weekend and see if that makes a difference.  i planned on doing
this anyway.  I also have a different cable set on the way from an eBay
seller.

Does anyone know an eBay seller that sells FTSDI cables that work well for
kenwood, Moto, and maybe even midland?  I have a Titan that needs a few
added channels.

Thanks!
