I ran into trouble as I went out and grabbed the (latest) drivers from FTDI as suggested. When I tried to upload the current list from my GT3's it reported that they were not responding. Windows 7 said the cable was recognized and everything was working. I fought this for several minutes then switched cables. Then it worked so the first cable had to have been a clone even though it had the Baeofeng stamp on it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:.25in'><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>I see some other posts with new users having trouble and it looks similar to what I was experiencing until I changed cables. This cable cost $21 (Amazon) compared to $3 for the other cables so I am sure others will have the non FTDI cables and not know it. I know that there has been a lot of discussion on here in the past about this. I didn't see a link on FTDI's site to get the older drivers that work with clone cables.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:.25in'><font size=4 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Does anyone have that link for the older FTDI drivers that still work with FTDI clone cables?
