New Chirp user: I have a Baofeng UV-5r+Plus; Build # BFB293

While attempting to load the new driver, I got a msg that “… Microsoft determined that the current driver is up-to-date.”

While trying to "Download from radio", I get an error pop-up that says "Could not open port COM5 (Error 2)”. My Device Manger says the cable is in COM 5.

Any suggestions where I should investigate?

I sounds like you might be running Windows 7 or 8 and the driver got

updated. If you have a cable with an unauthorized copy of a Prolific chip (many do), then you must use an older driver (v3.2.0.0). Visit the Miklor.com website and follow the instructions on the "USB Cables and Drivers" page to for instructions on how to determine if you have the correct driver installed and how to install it if you don't.
