For those fortunate enough to have Linux, this whole conversation is moot.

Well, not entirely true.
For those unfortunate (or cheap) enough to have a cloned cable or adapter, likely, trouble lies ahead. For those of us you either use an ORM cable, a non-cloned cable, or an RT-Systems cable, we would have not even known it happened. Still, thanks for the heads up, there’ll be a flurry of folks having difficulties again.
Y-all have a wonderful Sunday…..

Beware that Microsoft just downloaded a new version of Windows 10 to all computers running it. Unless you have told your Windows software not to update it, it has downloaded a new "Prolific" driver which will not work and hence its's not your cable but your driver. Go to Miklor. There they will tell you how to prevent such overwrites of the old Prolific driver as well as provide a link which will allow you to install it over the new driver and prevent it being overwritten in the future.

Hi, I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. I have the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicate with radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radio doesn't respond. It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work! Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and 3/32 inch (2.5mm). I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days since he was going to come over to test my cable by substitution. It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held that takes this cable! I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812 DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't be a good test like substitution of working cable. I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask! 73 David N1EA _______________________________________________ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> http://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users This message was sent to Christopher Knowles atcknowles@tiac.net <mailto:cknowles@tiac.net> To unsubscribe, send an email tochirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com <mailto:chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com>-- Christopher Allan Knowles, MPA P.O.
