Are you sure the programming cable is fully plugged into the socket?
The UV-82 style 2-pin socket with metal rings has a tendency to stick
on the pin making you think the plug is fully in when it has a tiny
way to go yet. Are you using the BTech PC03 programming cable (with
FTDI chip) or do you have a generic programming cable from some other
vendor?
