Re: cable problems

Please forgive what may be a silly question, but given your unfamiliarity with the menus and that many computer interface devices are set up in the software to "plug and play", are you assuming that merely hooking up the radio to the interface cable will cause the program to display the radio's information on the screen? You do have to actually select a "download" from the radio to the computer before anything but blanks are displayed....

First, what do you mean by "the earphone jack may only be working on one 
side"? Are you trying to use stereo headphones? The R2 is a mono device, 
and the earphone jack is designed to drive a mono earphone only. To use 
stereo heaphones, you need a mono to stereo adapter. Without that, only one 
ear will get any sound.

If the cable and connections and serial port are all OK, software should be 
able to communicate with the radio at some minimal level, even if it doesn't 
like the fact that the radio is a non-US version. Most software should talk 
to any version of the radio.
