Transceiver stays in transmit once I plug in the programming cable to the USB port.
Ideas?
Help please.
If you are using Windows and your programming cable claims to have a Prolific chip in it , downgrade the driver to v3.2.0.0.0 and you should be good.

Also, the driver on this site works for me using the 2303 Prolific chip with a very cheap cable from Amazon ($4.70 shipped).

This site is actually suggested in the CHIRP user manual that is on line. I have not tried the driver on the miklor site.
One key thing for the driver at the 409 shop. You run the driver installer then restart the computer. Then you can see the cable being recognized in the Device Manager and see which port it is using. It was on COM5 for me. You then set COM5 in CHIRP.

I noticed that too at first. Try turning off the radio, plug the cable into the radio, then turn it on. The radio may also be affected by whether the USB cable is set up properly, with a driver, etc.

By the way, the provided earpiece also likes this procedure. When I first plugged it in, the radio did strange things and I could not hear anything in the earpiece. If I plug the earpiece in and THEN turn the radio on, it works fine.

To answer my own question from earlier today, I accidentally found the Settings tab. After you set up the radio and save a set of repeater sites, the Settings tab seems to be available to configure the radio.

Rather than fuss with the driver, I have two solutions:
1. Plug the radio in while turned off, ready Chirp for whatever operation, turn the radio on and click the OK button on Chirp as soon as the version string shows up in the radio display.
2. Program a non-transmit channel (I have local NOAA weather in channel 1), tune to that channel before plugging in, and no further issues.
