    Programing Cable

    BC, it's the correct cable. Windows update keeps taking out the drivers for the comm ports. Mike- all my searching didn't come up with that one. Thanks. I ended up using this one and so far so good: https://www.ifamilysoftware.com/Prolific_PL-2303_Code_10_Fix.html It's just mind blowing when...

    Programing Cable

    I'm running 11 and nothing but annoyance. I have an old mac, just might put ubuntu on it after what you said. Wasn't aware linux could do the job, was told windows only environment. Now I have to remember how to. I like the suggestion.

    Programing Cable

    Funny you mentioned the drivers. I spent hours living in device manager and watching my comm ports disappear, reloading drivers, living in the code 10 world of PL2303. Not sure when the next windows update will wipe them out again. It has happened around 3 times now it the past year and a...

    BC, not that I didn't believe you but since I had a non functioning cable, here is exactly what what you said:

    Programing Cable

    I have a box of cables that probably got started in 74. It bugged me that I couldn’t use any usb to usb mini B to program a Stryker, Anytone, and Radioddity. Why buy one when I could maybe make one. It’s a $20 savings, but when I do it myself it feels like it’s worth $200. Here’s the V1...

    Alternative to Channel 19

    Wait, you mean he hasn't been out there?? I'm on the low side of 19 with my folk so it would be so cool that he is momentarily silent. Permanent would be better, but I'll take what I can get.

    Alternative to Channel 19

    I've been saying this for awhile - let the cell phone towers go down, just for a couple of hours and anyone working on radios will be considered a high priest, and you can turn it into a new religion.:LOL: The sad part with the radios not being turned on, it's too late when driving up on...

    Alternative to Channel 19

    I've always thought people should move off of 19 and leave it for the "drivers". I know I'm asking for a lot, but respectful operation goes a long way. Like no AM on 36-40. Guess I'm showing my age.

    New Truck Antenna Setup- Why are they doing it that way?

    Pick your flavor of truck, WS, KW, Mack, Pete, all new factory antenna systems are crappie to say the least. I’ve tested many with an AA 35, doing an SWR scan, the best I’ve come by are 2.5, the worst 50. Resonance is in the low 26 MHz range. The standard issue is dual antennas where the stud is...

    What are the technical reasons that all drones can’t be jammed/redirected?

    I’m not asking about the fun ones, more Iran/Russian military grade. "Zhitel can jam a GPS signal within 30km of the jammer," says Mr Clark. "For weapons like [US-made] JDAM bombs, which use just a GPS receiver to guide it to the target, that's sufficient to lose its geolocation and go off...

    President Bill II tear down

    I had a customer take a President Bill II and plug the cig lighter into a 24V plug on a loader. He said it got a little warm:ROFLMAO:. Now there is little reason in putting time into a radio that can be replaced with a new one far cheaper than the time to repair, but I still had to tear it...
