Hello Brandon,

I can't help you in finding the correct tool to permanently change the VID/PID but to do this manually, you can use this command which tells the FTDI driver to look for alternative IDs:

   #For example, an RT Systems cable for a Yaesu FT857
   #
   sudo modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x2100 product=0x
9e56


You can also made this a permanent thing on your Linux OS by making some Udev changes (see the bottom of):

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
