I called their tech service and he suggested changing ports, that sometimes, for no apparent reason a device will fail to read a port. So, maybe, changing ports will work for you. Also, I would try rebooting your PC as well. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417889461583_6783"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417889461583_6785"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417889461583_6784">Hope this helps, Good Luck, </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417889461583_6787"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1417889461583_6786">MikeyJay, KM4FWT</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, December 6, 2014 8:37 PM, Christy Cash <swmngturtle@gmail.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv3252433412"><div dir="ltr"><div class="yiv3252433412gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:large;">Hi, and thanks for allowing me to join the group.</div><div class="yiv3252433412gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:large;"><br></div><div class="yiv3252433412gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:large;">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="yiv3252433412gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:large;">Thank you for your time, </div><div class="yiv3252433412gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms, sans-serif;font-size:large;">Christy KEØCJO</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>chirp_users mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br><a href="http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users" target="_blank">http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
