I just thought you might want a HAPPY message. I hate upgrades, and software problems always seem to find me. But when I was dusting out my 8 y/o Win-7 (64 bit) computer I found some swelled caps on the motherboard. Hardware doesn't scare me, and I have the caps to replace them. But really, it was time to move up to Win-10. I am going from a 2.3 GHz Duo-Core processor on 2 GB of RAM to a 3.6 GHz Octo-Core processor on 16 GB of Ram, and a 128 MB SSD. The old 21" monitors are not compatible with the new computer, so I got 2 new 27" monitors. Quite a move up.<br>
<br>
THE GOOD NEWS? I installed the DRIVER for my RT-Systems USB-62 cable. I installed CHIRP. I opened CHIRP. It found my USB-62 cable on Comm-3. I connected to my FT-817ND and downloaded my memory configuration. FIRST TRY. No Win-10 difficulties here.<br>
<br>
Yeah - the RT-Systems cable wasn't $5. More like $25. But the value of it working first time (and every time)? PRICELESS. My time is precious too, and worth more than $20 worth of cable savings.<br>
<br>
On to more software installations. I am sure something will give me trouble. But CHIRP and RT-Systems cables will NOT be it.<br>
