[chirp_users] UV-5R V3+ download error

[brownie3 at neo.rr.com]

Tried “download from radio” on my Baofeng UV-5R V3+ and  received error message “Radio refused to send block 0xlec0”. When the dialog box  to clone radio came up for only a second and then the error message poped up.  At the same time the radio went through the same sequence it does when it turns on, meaning the display goes solid and the  backlight flashes and the WELCOME message comes up. I have tried everything I could find to do. My Device Manager says my cable is working properly.  I have the right “old” driver, made sure the cable is seated completely, volume is turned up, I’m on clear channel (tried active channel also), windows smartscreen is turned off as will  as auto update. Any one have any suggestions?
