<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="black" size="3" face="Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">All I want
to do is program my little radio (UV-5R). I installed the Prolific software a
few weeks ago and downloaded CHIRP and began programming. I have read over and
over information in the Miklor web site. I was able to put a couple of
frequencies in CHIRP. I downloaded them to the radio but the radio didn’t work
as I probably had the Tone or Offset not right. I spent a lot hours trying to
learn how and gave up. I then went to the manual programming directions
and I can’t program fast enough as the radio times out. (I have a neurology
problem that causes shaking, especially when frustrated.) Next I get an email
that announces a CHIRP update to 4.0. I install it and try to program again. Now
Prolific won’t install. I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer. I live in a rural
area with no Elmer’s. I guess I’m having problems due to my age or stupidity. I
am willing to call someone who may walk me through the whole process. As you can
tell I’m behind the curve on computers as
well.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p></div></div></div></div>
