Regarding the LYT Q-18 Radio, check inside the Radio and on the Battery for where it was manufactured (probably China) and it should say which Company made it (it will not be LYT, that is just a Brand name), then research that Company on the Internet.
If you find the Company email their Customer Service all the details including Serial # and Photos of it. More than likely it was made under contract and re-labelled for a Customer.
This happened to me once and some Korean Company contracted 1,000s of HTs and re-labelled them. Not the original Model # at all. A little bit of Detective work for you. And they even found the original programming software for me too.

Hi Jeff,
Just landed at Chirp. Using it for programming the Baofend BF888s. We use about 30 of them at a sporting event. I was intending to make some programming changes but find that some of the radios will enter programming mode and some will not. Wondering if you have heard of this before?
Yes. I have heard of this before. This won't be easy to resolve unless the owners of one of these radios that won't enter programming mode would help to determine what is different about them. So far there hasn't been much assistance in that regard. The only other way would be to get one of these radios into the hands of a developer so the issue can be studied directly.
Do all of the radios program OK with the same Baofeng software? If they require a different software, which software?

It seems I have two obscure radios. ?Has anyone encountered the LYT Q-18? ?Perhaps it is a clone of a supported radio? ? Ron ?

Hi Jim: I have all the radios with me. They were all bought together just weeks ago. I will try backdating my USB driver to the one recommended and then give it a try. I have only tried CHIRPS daily at this time but might try the BAOfeng software to see if it makes a difference.

Great. It will help to know if the same radios fail with the Baofeng software or is the same software does them all.

Hi Jim,
..... so, how can one guarantee ( without dismantling the cable ) that there is a genuine chip within the cable? I'm even suspect of the Baofeng cables.
Garth. zl1tue ..... an still shakin'

Hi, s'cuse me butting in but.......
will these work under windoze 10 ?I noticed that the webpage only mentioned xp, vista, 2000, win7 etc. in other words do you still have to use the backdated driver?
Garth, zl1 tue
When using a Prolific type chip based programming cable with Windows, you might as well count on using the backdated driver because the majority of these chips are counterfeit. The device driver auto installed by Windows has been incompatible with counterfeit chips since around 2008. The backdated driver will work no matter if the chip is genuine or not.
V2.0.2.1: Windows XP V3.2.0.0: Windows Vista, 2000, 7, 8.x and 10
Both drivers can be obtained from links on the miklor.com website.
