[chirp_users] TYT 9800 / chirp driver
I need some ideas here. I have a Baofeng UV82L that I program with Chirp and have no problem cloning this for the various UV5? radios that people have around here. I'm comfortable with Chirp.
Recently purchased a TYT 9800; I have no problem programming that from the front panel, but I'm a computer junky and it's normally easier to enter / fix radio data programmatically.
Running Windows 10, updated; have a cable that claims to be a TYT (the label on the cable); when plugged in device manager reports "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
The Prolific 3.2.0.0 driver announces itself as being available on com 4 when the Baofeng cable is plugged in; however I see no com ports available for the TYT - I have not been able to get either the driver that came with the disk or the one available fro Grapevine (retailer in Dallas) to install.
Any comments / suggestions would be appreciated. I'm at a loss.

Al,
Are you using the same USB port that you currently use for the Baofeng? I recently helped a friend with his 9800, and I use a baofeng. If you have the 3.2.0.0 installed and using on a certain port. Try using the TYT cord on that same port.

Thanks for the suggestion, Todd. I've tried using both ports on the front of the computer. I've also used the two ports on the rear. All of them return the same "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)"
I've had one reply on the TYT Yahoo group suggesting I talk to RTSystems - but I couldn't get a straight answer out of them regarding the TYT cable or their own. Hope she was just having a bad day. Needless to say I didn't buy either their cable or their program.

I had the same problem, tried multiple USB ports on two computers, 2 op systems, and all the drivers I could find. Finally purchased a cable and software from RT Systems. Worked fine. I haven't tried the new cable with Chirp. Kent AF7QO On Sep 15, 2015 9:41 AM, "alfredmjones@yahoo.com" al@aljones.us wrote:

RT Systems seems to only do Windows, not Mac.

To avoid any confusion, *I* am working with Windows 10 ... not sure why the discussion of Mac came up.
If you've used either TYT's program with their cable -or- Chirp with the TYT cable, would you mind letting me know the driver (name and URL would be nice) that you've used.

Here is a review from Amazon: delberger on October 22, 2014 This TYT programming cable uses a pirate version of the FTDI USB-to-serial chip. In order to combat this, FTDI has put code in their Windows driver that prevents the pirated versions of this chip from working. In order to use this cable, you have to install an older version of the FTDI driver and make sure that it doesn't get updated.
It's annoying that they chose to use the knock-off chip, but what can you expect? The radio is a knock-off of a Yaseu.

I read somewhere if you get the wrong driver it can lock out pirate chips.

I live on Social Security and I kinda blew my "budget" this month on the radio and some batteries for the solar system. Oh well, that's my problem.
You say that you've used the RT Systems cable / software for the TH-9800 and it worked fine. I have a tower with Win 10 and a laptop with Win XP Sp 3, now I'm not asking you to guarantee that it'll work but can I expect it to work those systems (preferably the Tower.Win 10)?
Have you tried it yet with Chirp - that'd be my preference, but I can live with the TH-9800 / RT systems software.

Hi, I used it on vista, haven't tried Chirp yet. Looks like company has good support and I didn't have to use it because every worked fine. I just followed the instructions. Actually, hand programming is easy for 10 or so repeaters. I didn't figure it out until I watched a YouTube video. Kent AF7QO On Sep 18, 2015 10:47 AM, "Al Jones" al@aljones.us wrote:
