I'm not using their software, trying with Chirp. I enabled the developer functions when it would ready only channel 5 and 6 and on the developer tab I could see all the channels listed there but only 5 and 6 would display on the normal pane.

Using the daily 2016-05-07 the radio just reboots

Hi all I have agree with Dave I have been fooled many times thinking the plug was seated when it wasn't. I built an interface box for doing my programming of these radios and had to remove the the plug covers so the plug could be seated properly into the radio, so as Dave says make sure it is pushed in all the way, it takes a lot pressure to seat it

Everything there is windows specific.

The 'radio does not respond' message comes after the radio reboots.

It looks like the drivers loads fine:

With a Windows computer and a Prolific chip based programming cable, you must download, install and select the older Prolific v3.2.0.0 device driver.

Also if the programming cable was working and then stopped, then...

• the device driver got upgraded to the latest (it would need to be

downgraded again

• the programming cable was plugged into a different USB port (this

would install the latest device driver -- which is not what you want, and, assign a different com port number).

I see now that I should have specified at first that I'm not running windows so the windows specific driver troubleshooting doesn't apply.

What is really odd is I just tried again and it worked, only thing I did different was remove the antenna thinking that maybe it was receiving something even though I was tuned to a frequency that shouldn't have anything on it.

Which cable did you buy? I did some reading before ordering the cable & spent the extra for the "FTDI Authentic Genuine" cable. I downloaded daily-20160507, followed recommended startup & see 128 channels. Programed 2 BaoFeng BF-F8+ (UV-5R), no problems. Seems to work great for a radio that costs 1/2 of the replacement battery price for my Yaesu... ;-)

The 3.2.0.0 driver is for fake PROLIFIC cables, not FTDI cables. Windows should only try to update the driver if you plug the cable into a different USB port. I have several different cables for many different radios, and they all use the Prolific driver, just use the same USB port.

Double check and make sure you are using a Genuine FTDI Cable, they cost around $20.00 at Amazon. Other "Chinese" Knock-off cables that are a lot cheaper resemble the genuine FTDI cable but they use a cloned chip (integrated Circuit) inside the cable that makes it very difficult to use, if not impossible. These are a lot cheaper than the real thing and come with a small CD written in Chinese. I started with one of these and there is a virus on the CD. I had lots of problems with it. If that is a cloned cable, every time you connect to the internet, Windows will install the latest driver and the cable will stop working or cause problems.

The correct driver for the cloned cable is 3.2.0.0, but Windows will update it to the newest driver whenever the computer is connected to the internet.

I have an UV82c, 2 BF-888s, a UV-5R and a UV-5RTP and the genuine FTDI cable works flawlessly because Windows automatically installs the newest correct driver.
