Re: Memory battery???
I went through quite a fuss trying to get the signal names right on both the 5105 end and the WOLPHI box end. You cannot go by the naming conventions. ¡°Output" can be a direction of information flow

Re: Memory battery???

Re: Memory battery???
Thanks for the info Doug. I suspected that uSoft might have grown unwieldy as a company. Certainly Apple has blown it any number of times. I won¡¯t even go into my struggles with that weak sister

Re: Memory battery???
Oops!!? I'd forgotten about this part of your posts. Xiegu's update cable is USB to 1/8 in. serial.? It's not likely that your cable came with your radio, and MFJ's catalog doesn't list the cable

Re: Memory battery???
David, I agree totally about the Apple mouse. I have thrown out both the Apple mouse and keyboard as being not useful or reliable. The wonderful Apple Supermouse is such a poor design. Any grease,

Re: Memory battery???
Hi Mike, So I am trying to catch up on this thread. Did your radio not come with the USB to 3.5 plug for updating the firmware? I saw you mention a cable with a DB9 and 3.5 Brian K0FBS -- Brian K0FBS

Re: Memory battery???
And then? Do you mean the icon that looks like four colored squares? Odd that it should be called Start. This is a laptop running Windows 10. Have things changed a lot? Thanks, Mike
