Mike,
Glad you got the right cable and I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I'm getting messages on this reflector in odd order, and sometimes they get buried in the massive amount of email I get.
I got the COM3 error also, and searched on the Web and determined how to ensure that my USB port was mapped to COM3. I forget exactly how I did it, but it was pretty easy to find on the web... apparently a lot of people have to do it. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll try to search for it again.
Also, I bought my cable on eBay, not from RT, but I got one of the "nicer" (read: more expensive) cables there since I'd be using it in a mobile configuration.
Good luck.
73,
Curt W4CP

_______________________________________________Problem: I can't program Kenwood TM-G707 using CHIRP and the FTDI cable from valley-ent.com
When running the "Download from Radio" menu command, I am getting stopped by an error message in CHIRP:
An error has occurredcould not open port COM3: [Error 5] Acccess is denied
I am experienced with CHIRP and the Kenwood TM-G707 is listed as a supported radio. I have had success with Baofeng radios and Yaesu radios with both BTech and valley-ent.com FTDI cables. Valley-ent sent me a replacement cable...same error message.
I confirmed the Com port assignment in Device Mgr (Win 10 and 7).
I have tried installing the latest drivers and have tried installing the old 2007 drivers.
Have experimented w. 3 different Win 10 computers and one Windows 7 machine.
HELP, please and thank you.
