Awesome! I haven't used other software, but I really enjoy CHIRP and use it for all my radios.
Be cautious using CDs that come with inexpensive, cloned-chip cables. I've seen many that contain viruses. I'd run an antivirus scan to be sure. The http://www.miklor.com/ website is probably a safer bet.

Your cable seems to be a Prolific clone. Check out the following website with loads of information on that. You basically need to revert to an older version of the driver.

Did I understand the alternate instructions (starting TX, then RX after it errors) worked for you using CHIRP?

It works! Yay!! Here are the steps I followed:
- I have the CD that came with the cable. So that's a plus!
- I disconnected from the Internet completely so it wouldn't go looking
for the Windows update version of the driver. 3. I un-installed the driver from the PC so it would liik for the driver again. 4. Plugged in the cable and told it I had the CD. 5. Voila!! CHIRP now works!!
