Completely true. Sadly, Linux will not do what I need it to do, also a moot point.

For those fortunate enough to have Linux, this whole conversation is moot.

Well, not entirely true.
For those unfortunate (or cheap) enough to have a cloned cable or adapter, likely, trouble lies ahead. For those of us you either use an ORM cable, a non-cloned cable, or an RT-Systems cable, we would have not even known it happened. Still, thanks for the heads up, there’ll be a flurry of folks having difficulties again.
Y-all have a wonderful Sunday…..

Beware that Microsoft just downloaded a new version of Windows 10 to all computers running it. Unless you have told your Windows software not to update it, it has downloaded a new "Prolific" driver which will not work and hence its's not your cable but your driver. Go to Miklor. There they will tell you how to prevent such overwrites of the old Prolific driver as well as provide a link which will allow you to install it over the new driver and prevent it being overwritten in the future.

Hi,I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. Ihave the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicatewith radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radiodoesn't respond.It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work!Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and3/32 inch (2.5mm).I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days sincehe was going to come over to test my cable by substitution.It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held thattakes this cable!I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't bea good test like substitution of working cable.I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask!73David N1EA_______________________________________________chirp_users mailing listchirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.comhttp://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_usersThis message was sent to Christopher Knowles at cknowles@tiac.netTo unsubscribe, send an email to chirp_users-unsubscribe@intrepid.danplanet.com--Christopher Allan Knowles, MPAP.O.
