Hi Paul,

The most likely cause would be that the 2-pin plug of the programming
cable is not fully inserted into the socket of the radio.

Other causes would be...
- the wrong serial port was selected
- a device driver issue (although very rare for FTDI based programming cables)
- a defective programming cable
