I just received the notice below concerning Vista and USB to Serial adaptors for a commercial radio product. I purposely omitted the brand of the commercial radio and this may not be an issue with Icom cloning software.
*Issue: *Potential data corruption issue with IOGEAR GUC232A USB to Serial adapter and Vista operating system. *Affected Models: Some commercial business portable radios. * * * *Recommended Action: *Do not use the IOGEAR GUC232A when programming BK Radios on computers running the Microsoft Vista operating system.
