I love it. This is one of those simple things that lack real directions. Like power-poles, so simple but only when an ELMER takes the time to pass it on.

You have to update the software for the cable wether it be RT systems or another brand and it will show up in device manager in commport..right click on that comport and it will tell you what port number you need for chirp

Yes, both the programming software and the cable driver software need to be up to date. Note that CHIRP changes every few days.

If you are using Linux Mint (or probably any Ubuntu distro) and have this problem, you need to turn on your permissions to access the ports. This is how you do it: To have permission to use the serial port of your machine your user account has to be part of the group “dialout”. To check / add this group to your account type “user” into the menu’s search box, select “User and Groups”. After authentication select your username. Check if “dialout” is listed next to “Groups” - if not, click into the list (isn’t it nice?) and select it from the pop up. Done.

I stumbled upon your video and instantly recognized the first HF radio I ever put my hands on at the age of maybe 12; a Hallicrafters S-20-R (you don’t want to know my special phonetics for that). Anyway, is that puppy fully operational and who can I get to rebuild my dad’s radio ? WA4TKG, in Tokyo, at the moment. 73

I was wondering if you have had success using Chrip with Windows 11? I just got a new computer and as I was trying to set up Chirp I got a message that says it is not supported. My error message on the Device Manager says: "PL2303TA Do not support Windows 11 or later, please contact your supplier." I tried to update the drivers and it said I was up to date. So I am wondering if I need a new cable or need to go back to Windows 10. Your thoughts?

The reality is, that it is not intuitive to go to Device Manager, nor are you likely to intuit the name of your cable as it reports there. Furthermore, it is counter-intuitive that it changes between uses and between reboots. That Device Manager has been around for more than twenty years is part of the problem- it is literally one step above DOS; and, by the way, “plug and play” has been a thing for all of the 21st Century, and connecting my radios to my laptop is the first time (and have been the only times) in this Century that I needed to use Device Manager to identify or configure a port setting.

@@crewsgiles9499 Anytime I suspect a hardware issue it's very "intuitive" for me to go directly to the device manager, that's where hardware conflicts present themselves via the yellow exclamation dot. Plug & "Pray" (as we used to call it back in the late 90's) is far from perfect, but it's still better than setting IRQ's & Com Port addresses via jumper pins. My point was (and still is) that Device Manager is not a hidden feature of Windows...so put down your whisky bottle & mind your manners...sometime this "century" (LAUGH!) would be good.
