[chirp_users] Can't program Kenwood TM-G707 using CHIRP and FTDI cable from valley-ent.com

Problem: I can't program Kenwood TM-G707 using CHIRP and the FTDI cable from valley-ent.com



When running the "Download from Radio" menu command, I am getting stopped by an error message in CHIRP:




An error has occurred
could not open port COM3: [Error 5] Acccess is denied


I am experienced with CHIRP and the Kenwood TM-G707 is listed as a supported radio.  I have had success with Baofeng radios and Yaesu radios with both BTech and valley-ent.com FTDI cables.  Valley-ent sent me a replacement cable...same error message.


I confirmed the Com port assignment in Device Mgr (Win 10 and 7).


I have tried installing the latest drivers and have tried installing the old 2007 drivers.


Have experimented w. 3 different Win 10 computers and one Windows 7 machine.


HELP, please and thank you.
