<font color='black' size='3' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>I had the same problem. I think you have to upload the the software each time and then up load your radio to recognize it. Then you can program your radio. I had to do that with the Leixen software. Hope this helps.

<div class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I’m having a problem with two Leixen VV-898’s. One is version 1.03 and one is v1.04. The v1.03 was programmed by me about 4 months ago and worked perfectly.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">A friend purchased a new one for his truck and asked me to program it. But I’m getting an error when I try to read the radio. I am getting “Failed to download from radio: Radio refused program mode”.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">So, I then tried my one that I was able to program 4 months ago, and I get the same error.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I am using todays chirp build.. same programming cable (and the cable driver is fine).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Any help appreciated</div>
