[chirp_users] Jetstream 270M

I've never used CHIRP and I am very confused. I just purchased a JT270M and can read from radio to CHIRP, but not write CHIRP to the radio. Jetstream advised me that CHIRP and the 270M will not work with WIN 10. I will not get into the quality of support from them in this section.
I do have a machine with WIN7 on it and I get the same issue. I did get the VV898 software to load the 270 M ( 1 test freq)but with errors (No ALPHA Tag). Jetstream suggested a different prolific driver, but as of yet, nothing has been offered to me from them to use. I am fair with computers, and I wish to determine the following:
1) Which OS to use
2) Which driver do I use for the prolific driver (USB w/chipset)
3) Any other suggestions that you may have.
Thank you!

Generally if you are running any version of windows from Vista and up any you have a programming cable with a Prolific type chip, you must download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 driver.

Try the Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver. You can find it at miklor.com.

HELP, I am getting conflicting mails from sales@jetstream and you, can you call me please, I am totally confused...540-335-6178
His suggestion will either work or it won't work. Have you tested it? You could test it quicker than waiting for some kind stranger to call you.
