<div><div dir="ltr"> I have been trying to program a VX5R with no success, I have tried 2 different types of USB cables and 2 different types of programs, chirp being one of them.<br>
<br>
I am able to read from the radio but when I go to write to the radio I get a comm error message.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else run into this problem?<br>
