Hello, I have programed well over a hundred UV-5x radios and have had both easy and hard times programing them.
One thing that I learned is to slow down, waiting about 10 seconds between actions taken on the computer. This solve most of the error problems. If that does not work, most of the rest to the time ,it is solved by pushing the programing cable into the radio and keep pressure on the cable until the pride is programed. I have to push it VERY hard. On a windows machines you have to select the right com port (I am mostly a mac person so I find the right port by trial and error). As an aside, using more that 60 cables to program the radios, I have only found one cable that was defective, so that is most likely, not the problem. ----- Peter J.
