The trouble is, as much as I’ve been trying, I
cannot find out which port is which on my lap top. If I had the original owners
manual, maybe, MAYBE I could find a schematic on the layout but, that’s been
long gone for years. And, in a search on the net as to how to determine what’s
what, most instructions say to go to Device Manager and go down the
list ‘till you see “Com and or LPT. Well, as usual, nothings easy for
me. I go to my Device manager and there’s NO COM PORT in that list. So, I cannot
find out which one is 1, 2, 3 or 4. This is routine for me. If there’s a hard
way to do something, I’ll find it and make it even harder.
Scot,
Try USB at the bottom of the port
list.
That is what I always use.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] New Daily Build
Dennis,
Well, I’ve actually made some progress.
Since one of you told me to push the “Windows” tab on the keypad, and then
type “chirp”. I did that and, it (the computer) now brings up a blank
screen that has a few choices at the top. One of them being “Radio”. I
click on that and, is then says “download from radio”. Yahoo, I’m getting
somewhere. Then I get a screen that asks for com port, vendor and model. Well,
I've got (4) com ports on my laptop and, I’m having a hard time finding out
which port is which.
So, I’ve tried putting the radio into
different com ports and clicking download and, it keeps coming up with an error
that it can’t find program. But, at least I’m farther than before. Thanks again
for your assistance. I’m getting there.
Scott
Scott,
You are
thinking that the file you are downloading and running is Chirp. It’s not, it’s
the file that installs Chirp.
Once the
installation is done you have to start Chirp.
