That sounds helpful and likely true, being that the cable and radio came from the Wish app.<br><br>Thanks<br><br><br>Sent from ProtonMail mobile<br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Apr 20, 2019, 2:51 AM, Christopher Knowles < cknowles@tiac.net> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><html>

<p> Your problem is most likely a counterfeit Prolific chip in
the cable. Go to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.miklor.com">www.miklor.com</a> and they tell you how to install
a legacy driver for the chip which will recognize the radio with
your computer attached. You can also go into your operating
system and tell it not to automatically update that particular
driver when new versions of the operating system are installed.

Hello everyone, I have a Baofeng BF-UVB3 8W radio. My computer is
linux, running Ubuntu 18.10, the newest. I have CHIRP installed
and running, but I am not able to find the COM port for my radio,
connected via a USB programming cable.<br>
<br>
I have entered every terminal command line I could find info about
on the internet, even one that showed me port numbers for
connected devices, yet there is no port number or path that works
for my radio.<br>
<br>
What COM port should I use?<br>
<br>
Thank You<br>
