<p class=MsoNormal>The cable, which doesn't have any ID on it anywhere (except
for a USB symbol and something else near it which I don't recognize) was
supposed to be the correct cable to use in programming a pair of new Baofeng
F8HPs. With my Windows 7 machine, I got the "Radio did not
respond" message about a dozen times. I've pushed that cable in so hard I
surprised it didn't come out the other side.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I realize I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but does
this sound like a cable issue, HT, user or a driver issue ( I've tried several
times to manually install a driver with no luck)? The BaofengTech
instructions with the cable indicate the cable was supposed to initiate the
proper downloads, and it was supposed to be a snap. Can someone
lighten this poor fool?<o:p></o:p></p>
