Hi Gary,

You didn't provide any details about your setup. Assuming you are
using Windows and probably purchased the programming cable from
Radioddity, I would imaging that this is a driver issue. If the
programming cable with manufactured with a counterfeit Prolific chip,
you must download, install and select the Prolific v3.2.0.0 device
driver. The driver automatically installed by Windows is intentionally
incompatible with counterfeit Prolific chips.

This page has a link to the driver and instructions for installing it:

I have multiple Prolific driver versions installed and switch between
then a will to test for counterfeit Prolific type chips. Nearly all
programming cables that identify themselves to Windows as having a
Prolific chip in them is made with the counterfeit chip. I keep the
v3.2.0.0 driver selected for daily use because it works for both the
unauthorized chip copy as well as the rare genuine Prolific chip.
