[chirp_users] New MacBook Pro Issue

[Christopher Knowles]

I'm sorry.  I don't even know how Bluetooth works.  As for getting your 
computer to recognize the programming cable, you need to use an old 
version of the driver.  The Chirp website has complete instructions how 
to download and install it.  Then the problem comes in getting Windows 
to not overwrite it with a new version each time it updates.  You can go 
into Device Manager, while the programming cable is plugged in and find 
the device in the list.  Then open the device information and check the 
box telling it NOT to automatically update the driver.  This will 
prevent your having to go through this process each time Microsoft comes 
out with a new version of your operating system.  Chris, N1CAK
