Yes, the driver installed without a hitch and device manager indicates all is copasetic.

The adapter terminates in a male DB9 and I use a straight thru female-female DB9 adapter to connect to the FT-1000MP.

Thanks & 73,

I tested that exact same cable for 2 radio operation and got it to work. I
don;t presently have it hooked up so I can;t compare my settings but I don;t
recall it being difficult at all. I run XP Home and had a Field as Radio 1 with
the regular serial port connection and an FT100D as radio 2 on the USB.


Check to be sure you properly installed the USB driver software that came
with the cable. Then go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager
and click on the USB Device Controllers at the bottom. It should tell you if
you have a problem with the install of the driver.
