THAT'S IT!!! YOU'RE A GENIUS! I jammed the connector really in there (and it looked as if it seated deeper), and lights are a-flashing and the progress bar moved all the way! "ReadSuccessed" Thank you!

[Although this topic already exists, since it's so old (about 3 years) it would be in bad form to continue that old thread.] I have had this radio for a week or so, and am now trying to program it through their software and their "Painless" cable. I can't get it to connect. I determined its COM port from Control Panel/Device Manager. When I tell the software to "Read from Radio" the FTDI briefly flashes, so I know that works. The progress bar at the bottom of the software window begins to move, but it doesn't get very far before the "Failed Connection" error message comes up. I read the old thread about having the volume control turned up. I powered up and down and up and down... still no connection. Chirp doesn't have this radio listed, so unless I hear from them directly I won't dare try it. Thoughts? Thank you. Been enjoying these forums!
