I used one with Chirp on Mac OS and Linux, no problems at all. VERY well built cable. the custom vid/pid are basically the license key to the RT Systems software ( they used to use a really awful copy protection scheme).

Using the RT Systems version 4 cable (red) for the Yaesu FT-60 with Chirp (Win 7) a couple of months ago, I had zero issues as well.
Agree about the quality of their cablesl

RT Systems cables work fine with Chirp. Chirp doesn't check.

Good morning,
Question: Has anyone had luck with changing the VID and PID on RT Systems cables? I saw from the CHIRP documentation that it can be done with the FTDI utility, but I'm not sure which utility to use (the FTDI site has many available). Also, is it worth the trouble to do so, or is it better to just get different cables?
Background: I have three of these RT Systems cables that I've been using for a few years now, but I've been switching my computers to run Linux and now want to use CHIRP as my programming software. The cables are very well-constructed, so I would like to keep them if possible. If anyone is familiar with the reprogramming process I would appreciate the help.
(Feel free to email em off-list, since I'm sure this has been asked before.) 73, Brandon
