If you had another radio the cable would connect to, you could try the cable
there, to see if the problem is the cable or the radio.
I have found that many of my cables work on different radios, if the tip fits
into the radio.

I'm using the Baofeng cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG

Years ago, I bought a 5 dollar cable to program my Baofeng. It didn't work.
I was informed many cloned FTDI cables don't work.
I bought the Baofeng cable, about $20 at the time. Always works.

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?

Rich,
How are COM Ports tested in Linux? I know in Windows, Device Manager
can be used.
Thanks,
David

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

Hi John,
Might the tuned frequency be receiving traffic while you are
connected?
If so, make sure it's on a quiet channel.
HTH.

I get "Error reading data from radio" I'm using this cable:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG It is plugged in all the way!
I cannot find a debug.log There is no option for one in my
CHIRP (CHIRP next-20230712 on Python 3.8.10 wxPython 4.0.7 gtk3 (phoenix)

running:
