Re: [chirp_users] Schedule for Support of Radios

Let me ask you a question first: Are you trying to program the radio with a USB cable that has a Prolific chipset? (This is the most common cause of not being able to update a radio using Chirp. Not all USB cables cause this problem, but a significant number do.)

Just for clarification here:

There is no conflict between CHIRP and Prolific devices. Since the prolific device is the most prolific (pun intended) it is the most often copied, and thus there are a *lot* of copies, fakes, and broken drivers floating around out there. In most cases, a flaky driver or device will not work for the OEM software, much less CHIRP.
