[chirp_users] BF-H8FP programming
Does anyone have experience programing this radio using the USB cable supplied with it? My biggest problem is that the software is looking for a com port connection. Is there any work around for this? Thanks.
If the drivers are properly installed for the cable, a COM port should be assigned to it when it is plugged in. You need to see what number is created and select that same port number in CHIRP.

Most of these radios require serial (a COM port in Windows) communications for programming. Most modern computers do not have a legacy serial port so a USB programming cable containing a chip used with a device driver to create a virtual COM port.

The USB cable will emulate a com port when the driver is properly installed. You can see what com port is assigned to a given device under Device Management in Windows.

Goto System, Device Manager.
Look for this or similar.
Yellow triangle means no or wrong driver. If it does say prolific, you need to download and install Prolific driver version v3.2.0.0
