I had to download the proper drivers. Here is a link to a list of drivers.

These drivers will allow your USB port to be a "com" port.

Hi Rich,
You're going to need to get the appropriate drivers for the serial adaptor installed. Until you get that in place you're not going to get anywhere I'm afraid.
Can you provide any extra details from the USB to serial adaptor that might help us to help you?
Welcome to the hobby, out of interest where in the world are you (I'm in south England)?

Hello and hope it is OK to join this discussion, which I just signed up for this week. Like Dawn, I am new to HAM radio (as of Xmas) and trying to set up a mobile unit. Main problem is setting up IMG via PC and Chirp software, using a Mirkit FDTI cable. Instructions seem pretty clear, but I can’t get cloning to work. Here are background details:
- PC’s are new Dell desktop and MS Surface laptop, both using
Windows 10 2. Tried *all* ports (2.0 & 3.0) on both PC’s and get error message “Radio not responding” when trying to clone (download) 3. W10 Device Manager shows an “FT232R USB UART” device under “Other Devices”, *not* under COM ports 4. Due to #3, I cannot select any COM port that corresponds to the cable (assuming the FT232R USB UART is the cable), in Chirp software 5. Possibility of bad cable based on same outcome with different PC’s?? 6. Any way to force cable installation under COM ports, instead of Other Devices??
If I could get the cable connection to work with Chirp software, I think the rest of the setup for channels/frequencies is pretty straightforward, although I may need some help with the “operational” settings. I am looking forward to getting the appropriate HAM license/certification to use this radio and appreciate any help/guidance you can provide.
Rich

Glad you got it working by plugging into a port at the back but I wonder whether this is one of those weird USB3 port compatibility issues? Is the port at the side blue, vs black at the back?

I apologize, I tried a different USB port and it worked. I was using the ones on top of my computer instead of the ones in the back for convenience. Thank you for your help. Have a great evening.

Hello,
I am sorry to bother everyone again but I am uncertain how to proceed.
I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my cable, Windows 10 is recognizing it. But now I get an "error reading data. Not the amount of data we want." I have looked for trouble shooting but all I can find is the updating the driver or an issue with the cable which isn't my issue. I have tried multiple times. I have made sure the cable clicks in, I have tried pulling the cable out a little, but I get the same error.
Are you choosing the correct COM port? Which Vendor and Model are you choosing? Attach the debug.log file.
Instructions for how to locate the debug.log file can be found here: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/How_to_report_issues
