[chirp_users] "Error Reading Data from Radio..."

[jml]

I just did an update of my chirp, (hg -v pull -u)
Downloaded my tech uv-5x3, no problem on download or re upload.  Using a home made cable with an FTDI chip.

make sure the cable is well seated in the radio and the volume is all the way up.  Not sure why the volume makes a difference but it does.  I suppose we can add then into the instruction window pop-up.
