[chirp_users] FTDi, HT, driver or user issue? Help

[Doyle Pugmire]

I also bought the $20 Baofeng cable and have two Baofent uv-82hp radios.  it has worked fine for me.  I did download the program for my mac from the Baofeng site.  They have hiccuped a couple of times so I turned the radio off and unplugged it and on and plug in and worked fine.  Did the Baofeng site also have a little program for the Windows?

I bought one PC03 FTDI Authentic Genuine USB Programming Cable for BaoFeng, Kenwood, etc   from Amazon, which said, Sold by:  <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUB0ONK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1>BaoFeng Tech for $20.46  <https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html/ref=oh_aui_sellerprofile_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=1&marketplaceSeller=1&orderID=115-9823267-6753002&seller=AA3MGRC7F9EI2>

With my Windows 7 machine, I got the  "Radio did not respond" message about a dozen times. I've pushed that cable in so hard I surprised it didn't come out the other side.

The BaofengTech instructions with the cable indicate the cable was supposed to initiate the proper downloads,  and it was supposed to be a snap.  Can someone lighten this poor fool?
