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.

Thanks!

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.
