I'm used to pushing USB plugs in solidly until they stop with no problem. That doesn't work with my USB patch cord, and I get the Com-port error message when trying to read the radio. The solution, for me, has been to back the USB plug out one micromillimeter at a time until it makes proper contact. Turn the volume up on your sound so that you can here Windows positve-contact sound when contact is made. Or, you can carefully push it in one micromillimeter at a time until Windows makes the positive contact sound. This may not work for you, but it worked for me. jan/klamath falls, Oregon<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Sat, Apr 21, 2018 at 3:41 PM, Rich Rahner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:imrich@mac.com" target="_blank">imrich@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Pardon my question if it’s been beat to death but I couldn’t find it in the archives.
