</div></div>Hi Rick,<br>
<br>
The Baofeng branded cable has an unauthorized copy of the Prolific<br>
USB-to-TTL chip in it. The automatically installed driver is<br>
(intentionally) not compatible. You have to downgrade your Prolific<br>
driver to an older, compatible driver<br>
<br>
v3.2.0.0 (Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1)<br>
v2.0.2.1 (Windows XP)<br>
<br>
See the <a href="http://miklor.com" target="_blank">miklor.com</a> website for the driver and installation instructions.<br>
