Thanks for your reply Fred,

I use similar cables to programme Arduino boards and to read GPS data 
into my laptop without any problems. The laptop has three ports and I've 
tried them all and I only have one computer. I do have a Raspberry Pi, I 
wonder if that's worth a try?

I only have one Baofeng radio, a UV-82HP. I have, in desperation, 
selected different Baofeng model but of course with the same result. As 
I said, I'm confident that the problem is at the radio end. I have tried 
three different cables.

We are full-time travellers and I've only come across one active 
repeater during the four months since I purchased the radio. I've made 
one contact and the operator hadn't heard of Baofeng or Chirp.
