However when I try to download from the UV-5R Chirp complains that the radio did not respond. Since all is well with my own UV-5RA I assume the software/driver/cable are not an issue. I'm using Chirp Daily Build 20150102. All guidance will be much appreciated... especially since I promised to deliver the radio tomorrow!<br>

</span>Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
Since the programming cable already works with your radio, the driver<br>
and programming cable must be OK. This means the problem is that you<br>
are not getting the plug fully engaged in the radio.<br>
