Ever since upgrading to Windows 10, I have been unable to get my Baofeng GT-3TB radio to communicate with my computer using my old Prolific USB to Serial Driver. I searched several sites trying to figure out where I could get a new suitable driver. The driver suggested at the site below was the only one that worked. Now I'm finally able to easily update my HT using CHIRP again. I thought that there might be some others out there with the same problem. Here is the link:

Windows 32 and 64-bit Operating Systems - Prolific PL-2303 Driver Fix (VID_067B&PID_2303)
DriverBaofeng usb driver windows 10
For Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10!
'This Device cannot start (Code 10)'
'Device driver was not successfully installed'
The Internet is full of web pages discussing this problem, and hardly anyone really seems to understand why it's happening. Even the companies selling these USB to Serial adapters and cables appear to be either dumbfounded or have selective amnesia. After all, it's absolutely great for business. Unfortunately there are hundreds of legacy devices that can no longer be used on newer computers running Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. There are many 'backyard' fixes out there, but none of them are done properly and if they work it's just a temporary 'Band-Aid' to the problem. It will come back to haunt you.
What has happened is that there have been counterfeit 'Prolific' chips coming from China. The counterfeit chips use the same Vendor ID (VID_067B) and Product ID (PID_2303) as the authentic Prolific chips. So, Prolific made a new chip and dropped all support for the old one thereby rendering the counterfeit chips unusable. Unfortunately, it renders hundreds of legacy devices using the earlier chip inoperative. Getting a working driver installed by the average user is almost impossible.
If one of these Prolific drivers gets installed to your Windows 64-bit computer then your legacy device will no longer work and will issue the generic 'Code 10' error. Driver Versions:
3.3.5.122, 3.3.11.152, 3.3.17.203, 3.4.25.218, 3.4.31.231, 3.4.36.247 3.4.48.272, 3.4.62.293
3.4.67.325, 3.4.67.333, 3.6.78.350, 3.6.81.357, 3.8.3.0, 3.81.10.0, 3.8.12.0, 3.8.18.0* (*New addition in this version)
Or, you may get no error at all, but your device will not work.
If your adapter was working prior to going to Windows Update, you may be able to 'roll back' to the previous installed driver and all will be well for awhile. However, if you didn't have a previous driver installed that worked, you'll have to go through the process of removing any PL-2303 driver installation programs,the actual driver files, and the information (.INF) files BEFORE you are able to successfully install the correct driver.
What aggravates the issue is that there are many 'Prolific Driver Removal Tools' that do not work properly as well! And Windows 8, 8.1, and Window 10 are set by default to automatically update your drivers without your permission or even notifying you of the update. So, no matter how many times you remove the driver files and reboot, the next time you insert the USB-To-Serial adapter, Windows installs the newest non-working version again. Yes, it's frustrating.
The best 64-bit driver I have found that works with all the 'Prolific' adapters is old Version 3.3.2.102. Our 'PL2303 Code 10 Fix' program will remove all incompatible drivers, make a change in the registry so that Windows can never update the driver without your permission, and install the Version 3.3.2.102 compatible drivers.

Removal: The Prolific 32-bit PL-2303_Driver_Installer is a 'Program' file and therefore installed to your computer and must stay. If you want to delete it, use the Windows 'Un-install a Program' or 'Add or Remove Program' feature, however this will also un-install the driver itself.
Windows 32-bit Files Direct Install:For XP, Vista, and Windows 7 users that cannot get the driver files installed using the PL-2303_Driver_Installer above, you can also try having Windows install the files directly. Download and run the file 'PL2303Win32.exe' installer program from the link below:
This will install the driver files in a directory on your hard drive named, 'C:PL2303Win32'. Plug in your Prolific USB to Serial adapter, go into Device Manger, and then Scroll down to Ports (Com & LPT) and Double-click on 'Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM#)', or in some cases, 'Other Device'. Click on 'Update Driver' and then choose to locate the driver on your computer. Click on 'Browse' and direct Windows to the folder 'C:PL2303Win32' where the files are located and click OK. Windows will copy the files directly into the Driver Store for the system to use. Next, unplug your Prolific adapter and plug it in again and the driver will be installed from the Driver Store to Windows/System32/Drivers and your device should be working properly.

USB Drivers & Information
The simple installation of USB cable drivers changed with operating systems after Win-XP. Vista,
Win7, Win8 and Win10 all try to install a driver of their choice instead of one that actually works with
Chinese-made cables. This is because Prolific, the maker of the chip that the Chinese copied,
released a driver that will not work with the Chinese cables. Of course, since Windows is smarter
than us humans, it will automatically install the newest (non-working) driver it can find. Windows
update will also replace an older, working driver, with one of these new non-working ones. For
your Chinese USB cable to work with Vista, Win7, Win8 or Win10, you must force the operating system
to install one of the older drivers. The files and links below will show you how this is done.
Windows 10 Upgrade:
If you recently upgraded to Win10, and are using a Chinese programming cable, your PC will automatically update your Prolific driver. You will need to reload Prolific driver 3.2.0.0 back to your PC.

This is one of the best hand helds I have ever owned. You need to get the manual down and look it over. There is a lot you can do with it. Great walkie....

Picked up this little jewel and love it so far. I am using it both for Ham, Business and GMRS. Can't beat it for the price. Actually going to try and talk to my work to pick up a few to use.
Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood (and even Alinco) are in trouble!

For about 100 dollars, you can get a dual band radio that performs as well as any of the 'good old boy' radios that cost up to 3x more. My sister-in-law showed me her KG UV2 that someone loaned her, and I was immediately impressed with the design, weight, quality of construction and case, the excellent transmit audio and speaker audio, the fact that it puts out 5 watts on 2M and 4 watts on 440 AND it has a 1700 mA battery. It will kick out high power all day long. I tested mine on the Bird Wattmeter and it really does deliver 5 full on watts. The programming software (KG UV COMMANDER by Jim Mitchell) for programming the radio is terrific. Thanks Jim! First and foremost, this software will unlock the rado to transmit and receive on any frequency the radio is capable of. For you Hams that also want to operate on GMRS or maybe you work in search and rescue, imagine having a radio that will do all of that. To program it, you will need (and I highly recommend) the Wouxun Programming Cable ($18.95) that connects to the radio via the mic connectors. You never need open the owner's manual again. Just be sure to download the USB Driver also and install that BEFORE you connect the radio. The only trick is finding out which COM port your computer is using to communicate with the radio via the USB cable. On my computer, it was COM 12. You can determine this (in WIN XP) in Device Manager, then look for PORTS (com and lpt) and WITH THE RADIO CONNECTED via the usb cable, look for the one that says “Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port” and read the port number that it shows, i.e. “COM12” in my case. It makes programming all the channel memories a snap (frequency, offset for repeaters, subaudible tones for access). My version 136-174 and 420-520. Want more? It also receives the FM Broadcast band, and the sound quality is terrific listening to stations. If someone calls you, it immediately turns off the FM radio function and goes to the incoming channel. Finally, top it off with one of the best and longest warranties in the business. If more people knew about these radios, the establishment companies would be in trouble. 73s Dan -Dan
Great Service - Great Products
By Jeff
I love this radio. Works better than my HT from a major mfg. If I lost this radio I would purchase another tomorrow. Also, Wouxun.us sells great products and provides great customer service. What more could you ask for? I'll be back again and again.
Not only good Merchandise but also...
By Annatoli
It's my opinion that Ed the owner of Wouxun.us deserves some personal credit too. He ships his orders prompt and correct and answers his email also asap. A lot of dealers take a few seconds to try to give the same service and are only fixed on their revenue figures. I know all about it as an retired Marketing Managing Director and financial Director for several companies I know how difficult it is to satisfy all your customers. However Ed does seem to have no problems with his no frills policy on dealing with his customers. Way to go ED and in my opinion you should get a 10 star shield, for best sales and customer service for 2010 and 2011. Just as an example, I ordered something for my Wouxon on Monday evening and I found it in my mailbox on Thursday noon shipped by USPS First class mail and I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Texas...
2nd to NONE
By George
Great Product and even better customer service! Thanks Import Comm!
Best Customer Service
By Stephen
Must give Ed (the owner) credit where it is due. If you want the best dealer service you can get for radios, then get it here. I've never experienced more prompt, great service from any dealer, ever! You will like the radio and the fast response service from this dealer.
Best Service and Best Radios!!
By John
Ed runs a first class business!! He is responsive to questions, knows his stuff and has the most competitive prices. Thanks!!!

By Bill
I don't see a a program for my uv-899. Remark from wouxun.us: So you give a rating of 3 to a web site that has never sold you anything and has never sold the model of radio you need software for. Seems a little unfair to me.
