Tonight, I FINALLY got everything to work, after trudging through many website, emails, and discussions.  I created a couple of channels as a test run and everything read from the radio and wrote to the radio with no problem.  I then went back into the program to start over and I got errors indicating the Port was no good.  I had not removed the cable or changed ports, or done anything differently. When I went into my Devices and Printers folder, there was a yellow warning sign stating there was a problem with the port.  But everything worked fine just seconds before that.  I&#39;m sure I will have more questions, but after getting this far on my own, I&#39;m at a loss, and hope to get some help.</div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large">Thank you for your time, </div><div style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large">Christy KEØCJO</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>chirp_users mailing list<br><a href="javascript:_e(%7B%7D,&#39;cvml&#39;,&#39;chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com&#39;);" target="_blank">chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com</a><br><a href="http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users" target="_blank">http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users</a><br><br><br></div>  </div> </div>  </div> </div></div></blockquote></div>
