<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Hello:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had purchased this Baofeng Tech model UV-25X4 and the FTDI (PC04) programming cable from the same vendor. I had accessed and programmed this radio several times with minimal issues. I had it in use for some time as a base, then mobile unit. After less than a year, it stopped transmitting. I determined the radio would power up and receive, but no longer had output. In prepping to return, I hooked in the radio into the same computer and cable I programmed it with to create a back up and reset radio to factory settings, but kept getting the error "Radio did not Enter Clone Mode". I also tried it with the latest CHIRP builds, a different computer, all the same result. I have verified the cable is being recognized through my OS's System Profiler and my Terminal programs. I had consulted your CHIRP troubleshooting and the Miklor site. I had also tried some other tricks and variations, but still unsuccessful.</d

<div>Thinking it could another fault with the radio, I waited for the new radio and tried again- ALL SAME RESULT. I am now stuck. I'm considering buying another cable and try again. I would appreciate any guidance.</div>
