I plugged a USB card reader into that port on the front of the computer and it says that port is F: Then I plugged in the cable and it says nothing. Doesn't even recognize that port. Its supposed to be the cable needed to connect my Btech 50+1 GMRS radio. I saw a video on YouTube saying the correct cable has a chip inside of it. I bought the one recommended by Amazon for the radio. <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017MT7IFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1> BTECH PC04 FTDI USB Programming Cable for UV-25X2, UV-25X4, UV-50X2 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017MT7IFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1>
As you can tell I am brand new to GMRS radio. I'm also 75 yrs old which isn't helping and I don't have a teenager. I was in the Army Security Agency and used radios but that was years ago. I know nothing really about GMRS.
