Re: [chirp_users] FT-8900 Banks and Settings missing
Thanks Jardy. I made a bad assumption. That is too bad about not having the 10 banks. That was a nice feature of the FT-8800. Will not miss having to program both left and right memories though.
Thanks again.

I am trying to program my Kenwood TM281 for the first time. I'm using Windows 10. I previously ran Chirp to program a Wouxon hand held and it worked fine with that cable.
I have a Prolific cable I got from BlueMax49ers. The instructions said it was a genuine Prolific chip and to use the latest drivers. So I checked and it is using the latest drivers (3.8.28.0). When I started Chirp, I plugged in the radio, and selected "Download from Radio". It gave me a dialog with Com3 preselected, and I selected Kenwood and TM281. When I clicked OK in the dialog, I get this message:
_*An ERROR Has Occurred*__* *__*could not open port COM4: [Error 5] Access is denied.*_
I tried Com3, and got the same error.
_*An ERROR Has Occurred*__* *__*could not open port COM3: [Error2] The System Cannot find The File specified.*_
(this may be the original error, I don't know. I changed the com port to Com4 before writing down what the original error was when it originally went to Com3) **_**_
I looked into Device Manager, and under Ports (Com and LPT) It says the Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port (Com4)
I looked at the Properties and it says this:
Does this sound familiar?

Try rolling back your cable driver to 3.2.0.0 and see if that works. Also make sure to push the cable firmly into the radio. Check www.miklor.com for more info.

I read that these cables had the real chip, and BlueMax49ers said so too. But I'll try the rollback and see.

UPDATE:
The cable appears to be fine. I installed Kenwood's MCP-1A software and it downloaded the radio fine, and all 43 channels appear in the software.
When I turned off the radio, unplugged the cable from the fromputer, then replugged the cable into the computer and turned on the radio, the First time I tried to download the radio I get just a blank screen.
After waiting 30 seconds with nothing happening, and without unplugging or turning off the radio, I tried again to download the radio, then I get the message
_*could not open port COM4: [Error 5] Access is denied.*_

I forgot to say in the update below that the errors are only happening using the current version of Chirp. No errors with the Kenwood software. On 2/25/2019 11:47 AM, Steve Thomas wrote:
