WLN KD-C10 will not program

[7734]

I have a new (as in new from 2021) WLN KD-C10 that will not be recognized by CHIRP or any other programming software. Cable is good, it works on several other radios, com ports appear to be correct (again works fine on other radios on two different computers) but nothing will read from this radio even though I can find countless "how to" videos and forum posts across the internet.

As of yet I haven't even found any reference to programming a C-10 but everybody claims it's easily done using CHIRP or Zastone and calling it a "C-1" or "Retevis RT-22". None of this works. I've spent weeks searching for information about this and nothing has helped.

Wasted money, wasted time?

I have a set of WLN radios that I also could not get to work with CHIRP. I used the manufacturer’s software using a link from this thread. Good luck.

WLN KD-C1 Programming Software?

I just bought a cheap UHF 16 channel transceiver to be used as a scanner since everything here worth listening to is UHF. It is a WLN KD-C1 and the manufacturer appears to be Quanzhou Kelly Electronics Co., Ltd., and I can't find the manufacturers website to make an inquiry. Locating the...

Nope, I tried everything in that thread and more. I was wondering if they've changed the firmware or something on my newest model. I can use my cable and Chirp or other software to program a TYT and a Baofeng just fine on both a Windows and a Linux laptop so I doubt the problem is with my stuff. It might just be a duff radio. It seems to work on the bands it came with but if I can't program it then I don't have any use for it.

Using a frequenct meter (IBQ-101 which isn't EXACTLY accurate but close enough) it has the following frequencies:

1- 452.875
2- 454.325
3- 454.625
4- 455.125
5- 455.425
6- 455.575
7- 455.625
8- 400.250
9- 469.985
10- 450.125
11- 450.876
12- 451.326
13- 452.450
14- 453.475
15- 454.575
16- 481.067
