Perhaps this has been addressed in another post, if so I would appreciate a reference to it but for now, here is my issues:<br><br>1: When I try to use CHIRP with on my 64-bit Vista home machine, I am unable to communicate to the radio, as soon as I turn on the radio, it displays the greeting then immediately goes into transmit mode. I pretty sure it has something to do with the USB ports on the computer because when I try to communicate with another brand of radio (QUANSHENG TG-K4AT) the same thing happens;<br>
Driver: Prolific Version 3.4.48.272 dated 3/5/2013<br><div>Chirp version: 0.3.1</div><div>Baofeng firmware BFB297</div><div>USB cable: purchased from AMAZON along with the radio.<br></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>
</div><div>Wrong driver. My bet is that your programming cable has an unauthorized copy of the Prolific USB-to-Serial chip. This requires you to downgrade to the v3.2.0.0 driver.<br><br><a href="http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php">http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php</a><br>
