[chirp_users] Port selection on laptop
Goodday
Im new to this,bought 4 Aofeng radios and not all of them are on the same chanels,downloaded the Cherp software but I seem to strugle to select the usb port on my laptop,can someone maybe help me with that?
Thank you
Easy! Go to device manager (right click this pc>properties) and check what jumps under ports(com and lpt) when you plug in the cable. If the cable has a fake prolific chip you need to install older driver. Mine has ch340 that is plug and play on win10

1.time to upgrade to win10 2. you need to plug the usb programming cable into a usb socket and see the usb to serial driver appear under ports(com and lpt) if nothing happens the cable might be dead. good luck

If you are using windows, use device manager to see what comm port you are using.
More details on op system, etc, would be useful.

Hi Bennie,
You won't be selecting a USB port. The programming cable has a chip inside, that when used with a compatible device driver, creates a virtual serial port which is required for CHIRP (or any programming software) to communicate with the radio.
Usually when the programming cable does not automatically show up in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT), it is because the chip in the cable is an unauthorized copy of a Prolific and the device driver automatically install by Windows is incompatible. When this is the case you must download, install and select an older, but compatible, device driver for it to work properly. Instructions for determining this and how to install and select the older device driver can be found here: http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

If you are using windows, go to device manager and verify the port assigned to the cable is active.
If you are using a generic cable with a Prolific chip, you may need to download an earlier driver. Refer to this driver page. www.Miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

I think we need to backup. He mentioned plugging in a hard drive. We need to clarify this first.
