Rick- The same thing happened to me during several attempts to connect my laptop to the F8HP. After several days of flailing about I discovered that I was not completely connecting the cable to the F8HP port -- I need to "force" the cable into the port; make sure that it is pushed in all the way and properly seated. I have not had any problems since then. Clarence

Rick,
Did you try using a different USB port? Try using one opposite of the one you are using now. (front/back)
They are usually on different hubs and sometimes that will do the trick.
Sounds to me like you might have a bad cable, as rare as that would be.
Do you have another machine you can try it on?

Tony,
It does not show up in device manager. I have re-installed the v3.2.0.0 version, plugged in the usb cable and in phone and nothing.... no recognition at all.

Could you see it in Device Manager on either machine?
Does it have a yellow exclamation mark next to it?

Hi all,
I bought a Baofeng branded cable and have now tried it on two different Windows laptops. Neither one sees the device. What cable really works with the F8HP?
