If I had to guess, and I do, this may be a windows issue.  Perhaps there 
is a conflicting library or something? It certainly sounds to me like 
you are doing it right.

The only other thing I can think of, since I can't find you in the fcc 
database, are your radio models US version or something else?  If you 
have the European models of the radios it may not work (but can pretty 
easily be modified with your help).

Thoughts?
