<font face="Comic Sans MS">Problem solved! Was able to get the
original Baofeng program disk to install the 2014 version of the
Vista software on my Win 7 pc (someone told me this might work)
and then used a spare usb serial com cable that my buddy had to
connect the radio. (My original cable that came with the radio
still will not work!) Opened Chirp to connect my radio and the
correct Com3 was already entered. Downloaded all of the freqs
settings my elmer had loaded in my radio and I'm good to go.
Thanks for all the help guys! Believe I'll hang around if I can
keep my "terminology" straight and not mention the "p" word again!
