I have reviewed the Chirp FAQ, cable sections, Activity, etc. and have searched various websites for a specific FTDI USB cable without success as most that I have located do not have the correct connection to plug into the FT-2DR. The FT-2DR came with a USB cable, but I believe this is a cable specifically for updating the firmware and not for programing via Chirp. I'm unable to find any info on the Yaesu USB cable whether it’s a FTDI and/or Prolific type cable, but I suspect that its neither as my MacBook Air does nothing when plugged in nor does Chirp recognize any available port for uploading/receiving HT data.<br class=""><br class="">The FT-2DR does have a SD card, and I have event tried making a backup file of the memory channels (file name created on SD card is MEMORY.dat), taking that file and loading it into Chirp, manipulating with my local repeater info, re-save as a MEMORY.dat file, and on the FT-2DR read the file with no success.<br class=""><br class="">I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out, and I am giving up. So can anyone recommend a FTDI cable specific for the FT-2DR that will work with Chirp on my MacBook Air or alternatively a FTDI cable specific to the FT-2DR that will work with Chirp on a Windows 10 machine. I don't want to fuss with counterfeit cables and the headache of loading appropriate drivers.<br class=""><br class="">The data cable that came with the FT-2DR is a std USB on one end and the end that goes into the data port on the FT-2DR I believe is a mini usb.<br class=""><br class="">Thank you in advance.<br class="">Svenster<br class=""><br class="">-----Original Message-----<br class="">From: <<a href="mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com" class="">chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>> on behalf of <<a href="mailto:chirp_users-request@intrepid.danplanet.com" class="">chirp_users-request@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>><br class="">Reply-To: <<a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" class="">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>><br class="">Date: Saturday, February 10, 2018 at 12:01 PM<br class="">To: <<a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" class="">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a>><br class="">Subject: chirp_users Digest, Vol 110, Issue 4<br class=""><br class=""> Send chirp_users mailing list submissions to<br class=""> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com" class="">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br class=""><br class=""> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br class=""> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users<br class=""> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br class=""> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>chirp_users-request@intrepid.danplanet.com<br class=""><br class=""> You can reach the person managing the list at<br class=""> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>chirp_users-owner@intrepid.danplanet.com<br class=""><br class=""> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br class=""> than "Re: Contents of chirp_users digest..."<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""> Today's Topics:<br class=""><br class=""> 1.
