<div>I am experienced with CHIRP and the Kenwood TM-G707 is listed as a supported radio. I have had success with Baofeng radios and Yaesu radios with both BTech and valley-ent.com FTDI cables. Valley-ent sent me a replacement cable...same error message.</div>

<div>I confirmed the Com port assignment in Device Mgr (Win 10 and 7).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have tried installing the latest drivers and have tried installing the old 2007 drivers.</div>

</div>
<div>Have experimented w. 3 different Win 10 computers and one Windows 7 machine.</div>
