<div dir="ltr"><div>I'm patient and I don't need the support myself any more, but this would be a wonderful radio to get CHIRP working with. I know a lot of people would appreciate it very much. I bought the radio from Amazon a couple of months ago. I had the cable and software. I tried everything. Nothing worked. To give you an idea of what is necessary to program this radio correctly, I'll outline the steps below even this may not be directly on topic. I'm hoping to show just how difficult this radio is to program, so hopefully we can get some CHIRP support soon.. It's the only 12/10W (no one is sure which it really is) radio (HT) I know of. Anyway, here's how I stumbled on a way to program it:</div><div><br></div><div>1. I searched google until I found: <a href="http://prepari.org/?page=5988HP#review-JT5988HP.html" target="_blank">http://prepari.org/?page=<wbr>5988HP#review-JT5988HP.html</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Get the disc out that comes with the radio or click here: htpps://<a href="http://amazon.com/jt-5988/JT-5988+High+Mid+Low.rar" target="_blank">amazon.com/jt-5988/<wbr>JT-5988+High+Mid+Low.rar</a> and get ready to copy a driver from it to your HDD.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Install the s/w. (it's better than the Chinese s/w for programming)</div><div><br></div><div>4. Watch the video on how to set up a com port: JT-5988HP-com-port-setup_<wbr>HTML-video.mp4.</div><div><br></div><div>5. Click on setup.</div><div><br></div><div>6. Click on communication port.</div><div><br></div><div>7. Select an available com port and number one will be deselected, then OK.</div><div><br></div><div>8. Put the Chinese disc in your drive that came with the radio.</div><div><br></div><div>9. Click on the subdirectory (folder): USB驱动. Then click on the folder labeled CH340. Find the executable file CH341SRE.exe. You can not run it from its current position because of all the Chinese characters in the path. Copy it to your hard drive and then run it. Install the driver. Click on OK. If you want to see that it's there, </div><div><br></div><div>I'm tired of writing steps, but you get the picture.</div><div><br></div><div>73 de Shon K6QT</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="m_591562601113979858gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:small">Shon R.
