<font size="-1">Hello Brandon,<br>
<br>
I can't help you in finding the correct tool to permanently change
the VID/PID but to do this manually, you can use this command
which tells the FTDI driver to look for alternative IDs:<br>
<br>
#For example, an RT Systems cable for a Yaesu FT857<br>
#<br>
sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x2100 product=0x</font><font
size="-1"><font size="-1">9e56</font><br>
<br>
<br>
You can also made this a permanent thing on your Linux OS by
making some Udev changes (see the bottom of):<br>

<div class="ox-1ada3780e4-gmail_default" style="font-family:
arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Question: Has anyone had luck
with changing the VID and PID on RT Systems cables? I saw
from the CHIRP documentation that it can be done with the
FTDI utility, but I'm not sure which utility to use (the
FTDI site has many available). <br>
Also, is it worth the trouble to do so, or is it better to
just get different cables? <br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="ox-1ada3780e4-gmail_default" style="font-family:
arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Background: I have three of
these RT Systems cables that I've been using for a few years
now, but I've been switching my computers to run Linux and
now want to use CHIRP as my programming software. The cables
are very well-constructed, so I would like to keep them if
possible. If anyone is familiar with the reprogramming
process I would appreciate the help. <br>
<br>
(Feel free to email em off-list, since I'm sure this has
been asked before.) <br>
