Hi, I bought 4 RT618 on amazon, they also provided me by amazon download links for software and programming driver and cable model.
Software and PC (W7) have the same port, COM9 but the radio does not connect to the software. Message: hand shake failure “

If anyone needs the driver just do a windows update then under additional updates the driver will be listed. Click on the driver to select to install. Keep the radio connected to the computer while running windows update.

I am sorry the license-free radios work on the fixed frequency band. RT18 is license-free radio, so the frequency band is fixed in law.
