Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, the images did not come through (see below), but I did poke
around in the Device Manager, but did not find anything resembling the
programming cable listed anywhere. The only device listed for COM ports is
SQL. Should I see the cable listed?
Note: COM3 is the only choice presented for the CHIRP clone import process.
Newbie Notes:
- I managed to find the MIME / Plain Text flag in the User Settings, and
updated it, so images should work now. (please resend)
- I changed to receive grouped list (not sure what's protocol for replies)

/===========================================================/
Make sure you have selected the correct port. My programming cable is
assigned COM3 but my computer has an internal serial port with nothing
connected to it that is assigned COM1. If I accidentally choose COM1, I get
the same error.

Use Device Manager to determine which COM port number is assigned to the
programming cable. Mine has been assigned COM3.

Thanks!
