Tried programming radio with software that came with the Prolific Chip cable, it would not display text. Downloaded CHIRP Daily dated 4 Jan 2020, but could not find radio in list. Tried several other radios without success.
What do you suggest?

I've been having trouble inserting a line above or below the selected line. Is it just my stupidity or is this an issue for others?

Hi Bruce,
CHIRP does not support the TYT TH-8600 radio model. I don't have this radio but I downloaded the programming software from the TYT website and installed it on my Windows 10 computer. I don't know why you meant it doesn't display text.
Are talking about channel names? The software I installed allowed me to enter channel names up to 16 characters. Without a radio I don't know if the radio supports that menu characters, though.
Are you talking about you entered channel names but the don't display in the radio? If that is the case, like most radios that I've dealt with, entered channel names don't display until you enable them as the display format. The software allows you to set the display format on the Basic setting page using the "Dis Mode" setting. The choices are Frequency|Channel|Name.
