Quantar software asking for USB driver

[123]

I do not have a serial port laptop so I am trying to program a Quantar with a laptop> USB> null adapter> quantar

The Motorola software looks like it trys to install drivers then it asks me to install the next disk that has the USB driver on it. I thought the standard motorola disk was suppose to have it and install it automatically? That is what the XTL 5000 & XTS 4000 software does.

Anyone have the USB driver they can email it to me?

If you are using a USB to serial adapter that was not supplied by Motorola, then the driver should have come with the adapter. Then, as far as the Moto software is concerned, it's just a serial port. It sounds like you've told the Moto software the Quantar is USB, which is not true.

Understood, I never needed a driver for this adapter to work in other applications, but I guess motorola is picky.
I will try to do some research and see if the OEM company has a driver for this item.

Thanks

that's a pretty expensive peice of equipment to risk with a usb adaptor. simplest solution is find or borrow a computer with a real serial port. motorola software does not like usb unless motorola actually made a usb cable for those radios
