Re: [chirp_users] chirp_users Digest, Vol 103, Issue 20
FT-2900 programming
I had no success getting CHIRP to read the radio...looks like its not communicating with the rig. I am using Prolific 2303 with dedicated driver Windows XP and cable pin-out are correct. My unit is a FT-2900 but the CHIRP dropdown shows FT-2900R - FT-1900R could this be the issue?

Greetings,
I have a Yaesu FT-2900 and was wondering if CHIRP is likely to include it in the already great list of radios?.....or if the is a variant already listed that will work with the 2900.

Try rolling your Prolific driver back to 3.2.0.0.

When using a programming cable manufactured with an unauthorized copy of a Prolific chip with Windows XP you have to download, install and select the Prolific v2.0.2.1 device driver. The Prolific v3.2.0.0. device driver that Jardy mentioned would only be used for Windows Vista and newer.
From what I can tell looking at the CHIRP driver for the FT-2900,
FT-2900R is the USA version and FT-2900E is the European version. If you have an FT-2900E or an FT-2900 that has been MARS modded, it it not currently supported by CHIRP.
