Yes. If unetbootin is used to 'burn' it to a USB flash drive, the "space used to preserve files across reboots" feature will allow it to be updated to the latest build as needed.

Hello,

Thanks for the help.  I installed the generic driver but still have the same trouble.  Also tried the NoZap driver, same.  Generic driver is listed in kextstat on Terminal, 145    0 0xffffff7f82514000 0xa000     0xa000     net.sourceforge.osx-pl2303 (1.0.1) <112 34 5 4 3>  

I tried to check CHIRP log in terminal but couldn’t get it to work.

Maybe my cable is no good?  Its a Maxton RPC-Y7R-U so is based on a Prolific chip from what I can figure out.

Thanks,

Roberto


Try the CHIRP Live CD. If that doesn't work, then the problem is most likely the programming cable or its connection to the radio. If it does work, then you know the cable is good and it must be something to do with the computer (most likely the driver).
