Did you change the device driver? There seems to be a change that has<br>
taken place in the recent BF-888s radios. It has been reported that<br>
several radios are purchased in a batch, some program and some do not.<br>
One radio that did not program was sent to me for testing.<br>
Unfortunately it programmed fine here (programming cable containing a<br>
counterfeit Prolific chip and Windows 7 64-bit with older Prolific<br>
v3.2.0.0 device driver). So the recommended older driver works. The<br>
person that sent me the radio, Mark, solved his problem by purchasing<br>
a programming cable with an FTDI chip.<br>
