They work great with my Win7 desktop, but I've had no luck finding drivers for my laptop which runs SUSE Linux. The El Cheapo cable for my Baofeng radio work great with the laptop but will not work with my FT-60 HT. Any idea what USB-to-serial chipset the RT System cables use? Is anyone else using Linux with their radios. Thanks!
