[chirp_users] Possibly Bad USB to radio cable
Hi,
I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. I have the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicate with radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radio doesn't respond.
It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work!
Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and 3/32 inch (2.5mm).
I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days since he was going to come over to test my cable by substitution.
It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held that takes this cable!
I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812 DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't be a good test like substitution of working cable.
I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask!

When I plug in the cable I get this in dmesg | tail:
]$ sudo dmesg | tail [ 773.851772] cp210x ttyUSB0: cp210x converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0 [ 773.851833] cp210x 1-1:1.0: device disconnected [ 780.717963] usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd [ 780.860262] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=10c4, idProduct=ea60, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 780.860268] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 780.860273] usb 1-1: Product: CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller [ 780.860277] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Silicon Labs [ 780.860281] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 0001 [ 780.864708] cp210x 1-1:1.0: cp210x converter detected [ 780.866984] usb 1-1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
I have a feeling part of my Wouxun KG-UV8E has died!
Thoughts?

Check Device Manager and see if the cable shows to be a Prolific. If it is, roll your driver back to 3.2.0.0. See www.miklor.com for more info on this.

No, : Silicon Labs.
I sent more info in a separate email.
Plus I said I was using both Win10 and Linux. Linux never has given me driver problems!

Beware that Microsoft just downloaded a new version of Windows 10 to all computers running it. Unless you have told your Windows software not to update it, it has downloaded a new "Prolific" driver which will not work and hence its's not your cable but your driver. Go to Miklor. There they will tell you how to prevent such overwrites of the old Prolific driver as well as provide a link which will allow you to install it over the new driver and prevent it being overwritten in the future.

I mostly run Linux, but I tried CHIRP under Windows. It doesn't work on either.
Thanks for the info on Prolific driver, my USB cable doesn't use that chip.
I think it is the radio.

Well, not entirely true.
For those unfortunate (or cheap) enough to have a cloned cable or adapter, likely, trouble lies ahead. For those of us you either use an ORM cable, a non-cloned cable, or an RT-Systems cable, we would have not even known it happened. Still, thanks for the heads up, there’ll be a flurry of folks having difficulties again.

Tom, I have Ubuntu Linux, and just posted about what I THINK must be a cable problem. I have used generic fake Prolific cables before successfully but this one, labelled "TYT" does not get recognized by CHIRP.

Agree. I was referring more to the fact that good cables with either chipset work with Linux. Obviously a dective/broken cable is a bad cable on any operating system.

Completely true. Sadly, Linux will not do what I need it to do, also a moot point.

For those fortunate enough to have Linux, this whole conversation is moot.

Well, not entirely true.
For those unfortunate (or cheap) enough to have a cloned cable or adapter, likely, trouble lies ahead. For those of us you either use an ORM cable, a non-cloned cable, or an RT-Systems cable, we would have not even known it happened. Still, thanks for the heads up, there’ll be a flurry of folks having difficulties again.
Y-all have a wonderful Sunday…..

Beware that Microsoft just downloaded a new version of Windows 10 to all computers running it. Unless you have told your Windows software not to update it, it has downloaded a new "Prolific" driver which will not work and hence its's not your cable but your driver. Go to Miklor. There they will tell you how to prevent such overwrites of the old Prolific driver as well as provide a link which will allow you to install it over the new driver and prevent it being overwritten in the future.

Hi,
I have a Wouxun red colored cable, suddenly it no longer works. I have the Wouxun Windows programming software: Doesn't communicate with radio. CHIRP on Win10 and Arch Linux: Same problem, radio doesn't respond.
It used to work, now suddenly it doesn't work!
Is there some way I can check the USB to double jack (1/8 (3.5mm) and 3/32 inch (2.5mm).
I have a club member with the same cable, but it's been 20 days since he was going to come over to test my cable by substitution.
It's either my transceiver or my cable! Only have one hand held that takes this cable!
I only have a 100 MHz dual trace 'scope and a nice RadioShack 22-812 DMM to test with. So I could capture slower pulses. Probably won't be a good test like substitution of working cable.
I know it's a fairly dumb question but you never know until you ask!
