Insignia Usb To Rs232 Driver
The Insignia NS-PU99501 USB to serial (RS-232) converter cable should be a plug and play item with Windows 7 and 8. This assumes an active internet connection and Windows Update is set to search for drivers for new devices.
The usual problem is the adapter being a Prolific chip set. There have been issues with these for a long time, it was also an issue with Windows 8/8.1. Look for an FTDI chip set adapter and you should be OK. Some of the dedicated adapters for handhelds, and similar, only seem to have Prolific chips in them. I have one for a Yaesu VX-7r and would like to replace it, this side of the Atlantic there doesn't seem to be an FTDI version and the postage from the USA is quite steep. One guy suggested using an old driver but that doesn't work under Windows 10. Fortunately, I have a copy of Windows XP running under Oracle's Virtual Box and Prolific drivers work in XP, so I am able to work around the programming issue with the VX-7r.

I've got two Prolifics purchased at Staples under the Staples brand name and they work flawlessly right next to an FTDI. I honestly don't remember where I bought the cable, but in order to get CHIRP to work with my Windows10 64 bit machine, I used the fix here:.
