Re: [chirp_users] Baofeng CT-3 programs as ur5 SOMETIMES
Jim (KC9HI):
Yes, the GT-3 is referenced, not CT.
The Prolific driver 3.3.2.105 dated 10/27/2008 works great on the GT-3
FTDI driver 2.8.30.0 dated 7/12/2013 does NOT work on the GT-3
Jim, the reason I use the FTDi cable and driver is that on my main HP DV7 Windows 7 laptop I use, It refuses to take the older Prolific drivers no matter what I do. I originally had it working and something blew it away. I have used several driver versions that "remove" the Prolific driver before re-installing, but no dice it would not install the older driver. I once removed each driver file component by hand and got it working, but it got blown away again. So I gave up and went to the FTDi series. I love the FTDI cables and drivers. Just disappointed the GT-3 does not work

I assume that you meant GT-3.
Interesting. We usually recommend FTDI based programing cables to avoid
issues like this.
Please tell us which driver version does not work and which driver version
does.

When you have an older Prolific driver that is working and it suddenly quits, usually something happened to cause Windows to automatically download and install the latest driver. The original driver is still installed. Usually it is a simple matter to go into device manager and choose the old driver again. A guide is on the Miklor.com website.
But that doesn't help you because you want the FTDI cable to work instead.
