However when I try to download from the UV-5R Chirp complains that the radio did not respond.  Since all is well with my own UV-5RA I assume the software/driver/cable are not an issue. I'm using Chirp Daily Build 20150102.  All guidance will be much appreciated... especially since I promised to deliver the radio tomorrow!

Hi Richard,

Since the programming cable already works with your radio, the driver
and programming cable must be OK. This means the problem is that you
are not getting the plug fully engaged in the radio.
