I am trying to program my Kenwood TM281 for the first time. I'm
using Windows 10. I previously ran Chirp to program a Wouxon hand
held and it worked fine with that cable.
<p>I have a Prolific cable I got from BlueMax49ers. The
instructions said it was a genuine Prolific chip and to use the
latest drivers. So I checked and it is using the latest drivers
(3.8.28.0). When I started Chirp, I plugged in the radio, and
selected "Download from Radio". It gave me a dialog with Com3
preselected, and I selected Kenwood and TM281. When I clicked OK
in the dialog, I get this message:</p>
<p><u><b>An ERROR Has Occurred</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><u><b>could not open port COM4: [Error 5] Access is
denied.</b></u><br>
</p>
<p>I tried Com3, and got the same error. <br>
</p>
<p><u><b>An ERROR Has Occurred</b></u><u><b><br>
</b></u><u><b>could not open port COM3: [Error2] The System
Cannot find The File specified.</b></u></p>
<p>(this may be the original error, I don't know. I changed the com
port to Com4 before writing down what the original error was when
it originally went to Com3)<br>
<b></b><u><b></b></u></p>
<p>I looked into Device Manager, and under Ports (Com and LPT) It
says the Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port (Com4)</p>
<p>I looked at the Properties and it says this:</p>

<p>Does this sound familiar?</p>
