Jim, Thanks, that's what I thought I read some where. My cable came with radio & is working flawlessly thus far, so I'll leave as is. So why mess with something not broke. Thanks again, Bill

No. Do not update.
Unless your programming cable has a genuine Prolific usb-to-serial chip in it (most cheap cables have a counterfeit chip), the updated driver will detect the counterfeit chip and stop working. You must continue to use the older driver that does not perform this check.
