<p><font face="Times New Roman">Go to Miklor.com. There they
explain that most cables have counterfeit Prolific chips. When
Windows updates itself automatically, it installs the latest
Prolific driver. That one does not work with counterfeits. You
have to roll the driver back to a previous version. Miklor.com
not only provides a link to download that driver but it tells
you how to tell your computer how not to update it in the
future. Chris Knowles, N1CAK</font><br>

style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif;font-size:13px;">I was recently given a Radioddity
QB25, which is also a QYT KT7900D. It came with a programming
cable. I got CHIRP up and running on my MacBook Air, and
followed the steps to turn off the radio, connect the cable, and
turn the radio back on. But there is no USB port in the ports
list in CHIRP, and when I try the default Bluetooth port, I get
a message that the radio is not in clone mode.</div>

style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif;font-size:13px;">I suspect a driver issue. I tried to
search the archives of this mailing list and found some
information about macOS drivers for various cables (including
some built-in Apple drivers), but didn't see anything
specifically about the cable that's supplied by Radioddity.
Their website only has Windows driver software. (They say the
cable itself works with Windows 7 without a driver but you need
a driver for Windows 10.) I tried the generic driver linked from
the CHIRP MacOS Tips page, but that didn't work. (Was I supposed
to have restarted the MacBook? I only quit and relaunched
CHIRP.) <br>

<div class="ydp63bf400dyahoo-style-wrap"
style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial,
sans-serif;font-size:13px;">There are other macOS drivers listed
on that page, but without knowing what kind of cable/chip
Radioddity supplies, I don't know which driver to look for. Does
anyone here happen to know what's in the QB25 cable and which
driver works with it? I could try contacting Radioddity, but
they appear to know nothing about Macs and might not give me
sufficient information.<br>
