For those who were following my problems getting the software (both Chirp and Yaesu) to program my Yaesu FT-65R with the Yaesu programming cable, you will remember that I could never get it to work on this HP-2000 Intel i3 Windows 10 laptop. Even though I had no problems doing so with all my other Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and even Linux Mint laptops. All those laptops were also HP-2000 laptops but with AMD CPUs.
So in desperation, actually more out of curiosity than anything else, I ordered a cable directly from RT Systems. Their USB-55 programming cable. Went to their website and downloaded their driver, installed it. Worked perfect the first time out with their cable using both Chirp and Yaesu software. No issues.
So it is a driver issue, something in this Intel i3 laptop simply does not like the Yaesu cable, some hardware (???) in it is causing the driver problem. Got any ideas what that could possibly be?
BTW, I put a 2TB SSD in this laptop with a full fresh install of Windows 10. And before installing any programs, to eliminate all programs I had installed. except for Chirp and the Yaesu software, I tried the Yaesu programming cable with both programs. It did not work, so even a fresh install of Windows 10 did not solve the problem. But it works fine with the RT Systems cable.
End of story, all FYI. Guess I'll never figure it out. But at this point, I really don't care.
