If it does, it will say which Comm Port to use. Then check under Driver. This will tell you if you have a FTDI cable or a Prolific cable, and what driver version is loaded. Unfortunately, most Prolific cables actually have a fake Prolific chip in them. The cables work just fine if you roll back your driver to 3.2.0.0. More info can be found at <a href="http://www.miklor.com" target="_blank">www.miklor.com</a> under drivers. <div><br></div><div>This web site is a very good reference to the Baofeng radios a a bunch of others, too. Spend some time on the website to learn all kinds of things when it comes to radios. You do not need to buy a FTDI cable if you know what to do with a Prolific cable. <br><br><div id="gmail-m_-3254378859573278405AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Jardy Dawson WA7JRD<div>Message sent through sub space hailing frequencies <span style="font-size:13pt">using the Universal Translator. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:13pt"><br></span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Jun 28, 2019, at 17:12, John Ulrich <<a href="mailto:shamrockrabbit@gmail.com" target="_blank">shamrockrabbit@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span>Hi,</span><br><span></span><br><span>I haven’t used my UV-5R or the old PC used for it’s programming in some time.
