<div><font face="Arial">I use Windows XP on my computers. I have
discovered that the procedure for using CHIRP starts with going to the control
panel and determining which port is being used by the cable to connect to the
radio. If you move the cable between the USB ports on the computer, there
needs to be a corresponding check to determine the "new" correct port
number. </font></div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large;FONT-FAMILY:comic sans ms,sans-serif">I have been
working on getting my CHIRP installed (and working) for several days now.
Tonight, I FINALLY got everything to work, after trudging through many
website, emails, and discussions. I created a couple of channels as a
test run and everything read from the radio and wrote to the radio with no
problem. I then went back into the program to start over and I got
errors indicating the Port was no good. I had not removed the cable or
changed ports, or done anything differently. When I went into my Devices and
Printers folder, there was a yellow warning sign stating there was a problem
with the port. But everything worked fine just seconds before
that. I'm sure I will have more questions, but after getting this far on
my own, I'm at a loss, and hope to get some help.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="FONT-SIZE:large;FONT-FAMILY:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Thank you for
your time, </div>
