The drivers are on the SD card that came with your radio. Windows 10 does not like unsigned drivers and there are several threads in the Radio Shack scanner threads that discuss the steps necessary to install them.

Here are the instructions from Whistlers website:

THE USB CABLE IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE EZ SCAN SOFTWARE. I AM USING WINDOWS 8, 8.1 OR WINDOWS 10
A Windows 8.0, 8.1, and 10 require digitally signed drivers and do not give the user an option to easily bypass however there is a way to get around it, it just takes several minutes.

This is only for USB driver installation if you have problems "connecting to your scanner" while using the USB cable and is the same instructions that are provided on RR.com

This has been tested in the Windows 10 and has some similarities with what is required to recognize the driver install on Windows 8 and 8.1

The strange part is that we do not supply ANY driver and use the one already installed in all Windows platform pc’s however when we install the .inf file it appears to require a digital authorization the same as if we were loading a driver.



1. Go to Start Menu

2. Hold down Shift key and press Restart under Power menu item.

3. Under Choose an Option .. select 'Troubleshoot'

4. Select 'Advanced Options'

5. Select 'Startup Settings'

Press Restart

Press 7 for Unsigned Drivers.



Once restarted .. login as normal.



6. Go To Device Manager in Control Panel

7. Select Ports (Com + LPT)

8. You should see .. "USB Serial Device (ComX)" when your scanner is connected.



You can now install the USB driver.



9. Right click on the USB device ComX) item above and select 'Update Driver Software.

10. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software.



At the bottom, select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

11. Highlight the scanner Serial Device as applicable.

12. Click Next

13. You will see "Windows cannot verify the publisher of this driver software'

14. Select "Install this driver software anyway"

15. Click Close



The driver will now be installed.

:wink: After successfully installing the 668 driver, re-enable the unsigned driver feature by shutting down the PC/Laptop while holding down the shift key. When the PC/Laptop is turned on again, the 'unsigned driver' feature is re-enabled. :wink:
