[chirp_users] New Baofeng UV-5R, won't talk to my computer

[John LaMartina]

I tend to agree with Josh. Mine did that in the beginning.

The common factor appears to be the cable.

Sometimes it actually requires a slight trimming.

Mine did that and it was just the cable not quite pushed into the radio far enough....like a 1/6th of an inch farther. It looked
like it was but i pushed really hard and it went in just a tich. Now it goes in much easier and have not had a problem since.

I ordered a new UV-5R and it came with a USB cable included from Ebay.  Loaded the Windows XP driver 2025, under device manager it
says it's working properly.  However, it will not read the radio.  Using either the Baofeng software OR CHIRP, when I try to read,
it sits there saying it is reading the radio, but will not do anything else.  I've confirmed the port number, made sure the plug is
in all the way, etc.etc.  It never says comm with radio failed, it just sits there sayign it's reading /clonign the radio and never
comes out of that.  ANy help?
