<div><br></div><div>This is on a Dell XPS L502X with Windows 7 Home Premium edition (with Service Pack 1), 64-bit. My USB ports are USB 3.0, but I've never had a problem with their being 3.0 instead of 2.0, except for a puzzling USB 3.0 flash drive I once tried, but as far as I know that problem could have been "anything"; I did not have time then to try to diagnose the problem; so I returned the flash drive back to the store for a refund.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In response to your suggestion, I tried the UV-B5's RESET as described in the manual, namely, turning on the radio while pressing and holding the [FM] button. But the radio did not seem to do any resetting. I surmise from the manual that I was supposed to get an option displayed of "VFO" (for frequency reset) and "ALL" (for resetting everything resettable). But I got nothing like that. And my channels were all still programmed as I had programmed them. (But before I did any of this I transferred the channel-programming data back to the UV-B5 from the OEM channel-programming software just to be sure I could do that without any problem.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>But in case there was some sort of subtle reset when I tried the RESET procedure, which conceivably might have resolved the original problem, I afterwards tried reading the UV-B5's channel info via CHIRP. But I still got the usual error message and no apparent transfer of data.</div>
<div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br></div></div></div></blockquote><div>You've not done a RESET then. The manual's procedure is incorrect. That's why I explained how to do it in my first reply (power-on while pressing the [MENU] button, select ALL with the "arrow" keys, then press [ENTER]).</div>
