Wish I could say that any of the above worked. I verified the driver version after the EXE installed it. Made sure the cable was plugged in tight. No difference. Tried 4 radios. All go to TX. I'll build a Linux box this weekend and see if that makes a difference. i planned on doing this anyway. I also have a different cable set on the way from an eBay seller.
Does anyone know an eBay seller that sells FTSDI cables that work well for kenwood, Moto, and maybe even midland? I have a Titan that needs a few added channels.

I have a couple of 888s UHF radios and the cable I have for them is

up on COM 3 Problem is the radio goes into transmit when connected to

cable and turned on. The cable has worked on my UV-5R radios before but
now
also puts them into transmit. The only thing that has changed is i have gone to a laptop (Windows 10) to a desktop machine (Also Windows 10).
Any ideas?

This is a common problem. Your programming cable most likely has an unauthorized copy (aka counterfeit) Prolific chip in it. The driver auto installed by Windows for this chip is intentionally incompatible. You must download, install and select the older, but compatible, v3.2.0.0 driver.

I have several installed for testing cables, but keep the v3.2.0.0 driver selected most of the time because it works with genuine and not-so-genuine Prolific type chips.
