I would never recommend that anyone remove the antenna from a radio
being programmed with a USB programming cable. Having an incompatible
driver installed, not having the cable fully plugged into the radio
and pulling the USB end of the programming cable out of the computer
before removing the plug from the radio usually result in the radio
going into TX mode. Transmitting without an antenna can damage the
radio.

So if you must remove the antenna, replace it with a dummy load or
tune to a TX inhibited channel if your radio supports TX inhibited
channels.
