<p dir="ltr">Here is a review from Amazon:<br>
delberger on October 22, 2014<br>
This TYT programming cable uses a pirate version of the FTDI USB-to-serial chip. In order to combat this, FTDI has put code in their Windows driver that prevents the pirated versions of this chip from working. In order to use this cable, you have to install an older version of the FTDI driver and make sure that it doesn't get updated.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It's annoying that they chose to use the knock-off chip, but what can you expect? The radio is a knock-off of a Yaseu.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I read somewhere if you get the wrong driver it can lock out pirate chips.</p>
