<DIV><BR></DIV>Glad you got the combination working, sounds like you determined
it was a mechanical issue, not software, so that's good.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd encourage you to find someone with a working Baofeng setup and try
their cable with your radio and your cable with their radio. Simply comparing
the K connectors on the two cables may be instructive, showing you where a bit
more shaving may make the connector fit better, work more reliably.</DIV>

<DIV>Good luck,</DIV>

<DIV>Hey folks,<BR><BR>Debugging tonight I managed to get my radio to talk to
CHIRP a few times, but very unreliably. I trimmed the connector and made sure
it was well plugged in. I even updated to the next -nightly in case that
helped. No.<BR><BR>Eventually what I figured out something that works 100% of
the time for me: squeezing the radio and programming adapter tightly in my
hands while programming.<BR><BR>Thanks for CHIRP, it was very easy to re-join
the world of ham radio and get connected to a lot of local
repeaters.<BR><BR>73,<BR>KI4VCD</DIV></DIV></DIV><SPAN>_______________________________________________</SPAN><BR><SPAN>chirp_users
