<p dir="ltr">Is there any part of the cable hiding something that's preventing the pins from going all the way in? If so cut the outside of the rubber molded plug so it gets further inside and makes fuller contact. I've heard this worked for some.</p>

This says nothing was returned. Like I mentioned above, either the<br>
2-pin plug is not making a good connection with the radio or the radio<br>
is not recognizing the command to begin cloning. CHIRP can't work with<br>
either condition. If it is the latter, you will have to capture<br>
working factory programming software to find out what the radio is<br>
looking for to begin cloning.<br>
