I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5. I could not connect to the radio. Now I've tried on another laptop running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Still no dice. The "Help me" under port says "Your cable appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"

Maybe the cable is bad?

Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.
