It seems that the only way to activate the 220MHZ functions is to program it using the manufactures software. I down loaded verion 3.2.0.0 of the prolific driver and the manufactures software but when I try to access the radio, I will see the RW--COM displayed on the radio and I get a message the tells me to check the cables. However, I can program the radio using the latest daily CHIRP software without any problem, but it will not program the 220MHZ range. I realize this is the chirp group but I'm hoping someone can give me a suggestion as to how to make this all work.</span></div><div id="yiv4998304475yui_3_16_0_1_1449000974839_2670" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div></div><div id="yiv4998304475yui_3_16_0_1_1449000974839_2669"> </div><div class="yiv4998304475signature" id="yiv4998304475yui_3_16_0_1_1449000974839_2668">Rick Hanzlik
