<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite2 cite=C979C0D9-694E-46E5-B585-5299ABAA4C30@earthlink.net type="cite">I have programed over 100 of these radios, and using a large number of different cables, have never run into a bad one. I have had the following issues.
<DIV><BR>
<DIV>Not having the right driver.</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Plug the driver in and open “About this Mac”, “System Report”, “USB HI-Spped Bus”, “Hub”, & “USB-Serial <SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Controller”. This will give the the information you need to search for the right driver. After downloading it, install.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Not having the cable pushed in far enough.</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>Sometimes this is hard. Others have cut the cable housing down, but I have never had to do this. I just work it way <SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>into the full “In” position.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Not letting the computer have enough time between steps.</DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>This is the hardest step for me. After giving either the “Download from Radio” or the “Upload to Radio” command, I <SPAN class=Apple-tab-span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre"></SPAN>give a long 5 count between each further step. Sometimes it even me 10 seconds per step!</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Using the above methods, I have gotten almost all of them programed in just a few minutes.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>
