but, my cable <br>on HIS pc is useless. the device mgr sees the cable but does NOT get <br>thru it to see the radio. i asked baofeng if tthey would write code to <br>FIX the cable since it is their shared fault for using a clone in the <br>first place. they didnt respond to that message. now, i have reviewed <br>about 15 programming cables; all - EXCEPT one - are less than $6; oNE is <br>$20 and it is marked 'genuine FTDI cable'. so, i kknow that i could <br>resolve this for 20 bucks. but i am pissed that FTDI trashed something i <br>purchasedd in good faith FROM the manufacturer!!<br>so, i was hoping someone had the expertise to write code to send to my <br>cable to make it functional again.<br><br>thanks again to you all for your input; however, i'm afraid that i'm <br>still out in left field.............<br>peace,<br>larry<br>KD9AVZ<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>This message was sent to Dan Jolley at <a ymailto="mailto:oldhippie1955@yahoo.com" href="mailto:oldhippie1955@yahoo.com">oldhippie1955@yahoo.com</a><br>To unsubscribe, send an email to <a ymailto="mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com" href="mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com">chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
