Make sure you have the 2-pin plug of the programming cable fully plugged<br>
into the socket of the radio. If you fully unplug the programming cable<br>
from the radio (no connection at all) and attempt a download, the result<br>
will be the same error.<br>
<br>

<br>
Make sure you have selected the correct port. My programming cable is<br>
assigned COM3 but my computer has an internal serial port with nothing<br>
connected to it that is assigned COM1. If I accidentally choose COM1, I get<br>
the same error.<br>
<br>
[image: Radio_did_not_respond.png]<br>
<br>
Use Device Manager to determine which COM port number is assigned to the<br>
programming cable. Mine has been assigned COM3.<br>
<br>

<br>
No programming software can work until there is a complete and working<br>
connection between the radio and computer.<br>
