John,

I'm certain that those actions would cause problems. However in my case 
everything is pretty much static. I have a single dedicated port on the 
hub on my iMac and always use the front panel port on my Windows box. 
I've found no indications of port conflict.

What I have found is that if you do things perfectly every time, it 
works flawlessly. But if, for example, you forget to turn off the radio 
before plugging in the programming cable and try to download from it, 
things are get hosed up and may, or may not, recover without a reboot. 
I've found this to be the case both with multiple programming sessions 
on the same radio, or when programming a batch of radios, and with both 
the Wouxun KG-UV6X and the Baofeng UV-5R. The problem is most pronounced 
on the Windows box, but does sometimes happen on the Mac box.
