<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the comment Jim. I am one of those that will hold on to my true serial ports like some people hold guns near and dear. I have no USB programming cables and don't expect I will buy any.<div>

Nothing wrong with my cable as it has worked fine before on these two machines when I had XP on them. This has to be a COM port permissions issue or a problem with the radio or maybe the program install.<div>

Windows 7 automatically updates to the latest driver and the latest driver has code to detect the chip and refuses to work with it.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">What is needed is an older driver that does not have this code. The version recommended most in this situation is v3.2.0.0.
