The set up is Windows.

The Radioddity SW works as well as it can: reads and writes but crashes at Ch 135... Channels before that write Okay.

It is NOT a driver issue.

Why does Chirp (ver 3/31) change the Radioddity QB25 to QYT Kt7900D?  When I first purchased the radio last September, I tried to Chirp using KT7900D with no luck.

Hi Gary,

You didn't provide any details about your setup. Assuming you are
using Windows and probably purchased the programming cable from
Radioddity, I would imaging that this is a driver issue. If the
programming cable with manufactured with a counterfeit Prolific chip,
you must download, install and select the Prolific v3.2.0.0 device
driver. The driver automatically installed by Windows is intentionally
incompatible with counterfeit Prolific chips.

This page has a link to the driver and instructions for installing it:
http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

I have multiple Prolific driver versions installed and switch between
then a will to test for counterfeit Prolific type chips. Nearly all
programming cables that identify themselves to Windows as having a
Prolific chip in them is made with the counterfeit chip. I keep the
v3.2.0.0 driver selected for daily use because it works for both the
unauthorized chip copy as well as the rare genuine Prolific chip.
