Cesar,

Assuming you are using Windows, what does Device Manager show you
about the programming cable? This guide should help. It was taken from
a Windows 7 computer. Other Windows versions may be slightly
different.

Assuming you purchased the PC03 programming cable from Baofeng Tech,
Baofeng Tech sells only FTDI chip based programming cables. Do not
install any Prolific device driver unless you programming cable was
manufactured with a Prolific type USB-to-TTL chip. The Windows Device
Manager should help you determine which type of chip is in your
programming cable.
