 There is no need to disable updates. If
 Windows does update your
 Prolific driver, the previous driver is
 still installed. All you have
 to do is go into Device Manager and
 re-select the driver version that
 you want to use. I keep several
 Prolific driver versions installed and
 switch between then at will for testing
 purposes.

 Perhaps it you reached out with a
 polite request along the lines of ?I?m having problems
 unsubscribing from this list. I?ve sent an unsubscribe
 request email without success and I?ve tried the website
 without success. Does any body have any ideas what I?m doing
 wrong?? Bonus points for sending it as a separate thread
 with s subject of something like ?Need help. Problems
 unsubscribing." Such an inquiry will probably get you a lot
 more assistance than just throwing a grenade into the
 mailing list.

 I see ?bug? numbers 3325 and 3257 from
 last year, hoping support for Yaesu FT2D radio will work.
 It?s in the wish list, and doesn?t seem to need hardware for
 testing. 
 I?m interested in getting chirp to
 work, and for some insights into how to get the serial
 connection to work on Macintosh OS X 10.12.5.
 
 HOW CAN I HELP  (assuming this
 just needs effort)??

 Hello Chirpers;
 
 I have a question. I am trying to
 program repeaters into a Kenwood TMV7. I have been using
 RepeaterBooks Proximity search. When setting a Manhattan?
 zip code for example, it doesn?t seem to matter if I
 indicate a 100 mile radius or a 300 mile radius. It only
 seems pull about a 15 miles radius. Is there a default that
 won?t allow a larger range?

 Using "Import from data source",
 "Location" = 10001 and "Band" = "2
 meters (144MHz)", I the following
 numbers of repeaters are retrieved.
 
 Distance: # of repeaters
 15: 50
 100: 367
 300: 1387

 I have been fighting similar problems
 on Win10 on my Baofeng UV-5R+.? I too
 rolled back the driver to 3.2.0.0 to
 get my "genuine" cable that I purchase
 from HRO to work once I upgraded to
 Win10.? It worked fine on Win7 and never
 had a problem with the latest driver
 but would not work on Win10 till I
 rolled the driver back.? I then turned
 off the auto driver updates for this
 device.? Everything worked fine after
 rolling the driver back.
 
 A few months later when I tried to read
 the radio again, it would not
 connect.? I checked the driver and it
 was still the 3.2.0.0 driver in my
 listing.? It took me several days till
 I updated the driver to the latest
 driver which of course did not work,
 but when I rolled it back again the
 3.2.0.0 driver from the pick list for
 this device, it began to work again.
 Don't ask me what is going on but then
 set it back for auto updates.? I will
 now just roll the driver back every
 time I want to use this cable.
 
 I suggest you try to update your driver
 and then roll it back again to
 3.2.0.0 to see if that works for you.?
 I know it sounds stupid but it is
 worth a try since it worked for me.

 I have strange issue with Windows 10,
 prolific serial adapter and BF-888S.
 It reports unable to download from
 radio.
 
 Driver is proper (version 3.2.0.0,
 update is disabled), and Chirp works fine
 with the same adapter and other radio
 (Baofeng UV-B5) reading and writing.
 
 I tried four different BF-888S and
 neither can be read.
 
 However, when I use the same USB
 adapter on my old Windows XP computer,
 Chirp easily reads and writes those
 BF-888S.
 
 Has anyone met with this problem?

 I guess some update of win10 change
 some part of the driver without
 changing the driver version number.
 Redowngrading probably fix this. But
 this just a wild guess. The solution is
 important. The reason is less
 important

 I wonder if you did not reboot windows
 soon enough to solidify the change.
 You would think that this would not
 matter, but maybe Windows needs to reboot for changes such
 as the driver setting.
 Glenn
 I have been fighting similar problems
 on Win10 on my Baofeng UV-5R+.? I too
 rolled back the driver to 3.2.0.0 to
 get my "genuine" cable that I purchase
 from HRO to work once I upgraded to
 Win10.? It worked fine on Win7 and never
 had a problem with the latest driver
 but would not work on Win10 till I
 rolled the driver back.? I then turned
 off the auto driver updates for this
 device.? Everything worked fine after
 rolling the driver back.
 
 A few months later when I tried to read
 the radio again, it would not
 connect.? I checked the driver and it
 was still the 3.2.0.0 driver in my
 listing.? It took me several days till
 I updated the driver to the latest
 driver which of course did not work,
 but when I rolled it back again the
 3.2.0.0 driver from the pick list for
 this device, it began to work again.
 Don't ask me what is going on but then
 set it back for auto updates.? I will
 now just roll the driver back every
 time I want to use this cable.
 
 I suggest you try to update your driver
 and then roll it back again to
 3.2.0.0 to see if that works for you.?
 I know it sounds stupid but it is
 worth a try since it worked for me.

 I have strange issue with Windows 10,
 prolific serial adapter and BF-888S.
 It reports unable to download from
 radio.
 
 Driver is proper (version 3.2.0.0,
 update is disabled), and Chirp works fine
 with the same adapter and other radio
 (Baofeng UV-B5) reading and writing.
 
 I tried four different BF-888S and
 neither can be read.
 
 However, when I use the same USB
 adapter on my old Windows XP computer,
 Chirp easily reads and writes those
 BF-888S.
 
 Has anyone met with this problem?

 Just to ping the group again:
 
 Has anybody out there had recent luck
 programming the Leixen VV-898E
 using a recent build of Chirp on
 MacOS?
