</span>I use Portmon on my Windows XP laptop. If your programming cable has a<br>
Prolific type chip you have to install the Prolific v2.0.2.1 device<br>
driver.<br>
<br>
CHIRP doesn't make the radio beep. The radio beeps when it exits clone<br>
mode. That is how the radio works. So it will do this with any<br>
software that you use. The OEM software will even make it beep when<br>
the software starts. So turn the volume down all the way if you don't<br>
want to hear it.<br>
