Hi Daniel,

You have the correct version of CHIRP. To program a UV-82C you choose
the UV-82 model selection.

The most likely issue is that the 2-pin plug of the programming cable
is not fully inserted into the socket. This used to happen to me all
the time. What happens is that the pins stick in the metal rings of
the socket. It feels like the plug is solidly seated but after close
inspection I could see that it wasn't. It took a little wiggle and a
push to get the plug to go in the rest of the way and seat fully. It
is rare for this to happen to me now because I know to watch for it.
