John et. al.: I'm completely confused now. I bought one PC03 FTDI Authentic https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HUB0ONK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00? ie=UTF8&psc=1 Genuine USB Programming Cable for BaoFeng, Kenwood, etc from Amazon, which said, Sold by: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/at-a-glance.html/ref=oh_aui_sellerpro file_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=1&marketplaceSeller=1&orderID=115-982 3267-6753002&seller=AA3MGRC7F9EI2 BaoFeng Tech for $20.46
The cable, which doesn't have any ID on it anywhere (except for a USB symbol and something else near it which I don't recognize) was supposed to be the correct cable to use in programming a pair of new Baofeng F8HPs. With my Windows 7 machine, I got the "Radio did not respond" message about a dozen times. I've pushed that cable in so hard I surprised it didn't come out the other side.
I realize I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but does this sound like a cable issue, HT, user or a driver issue ( I've tried several times to manually install a driver with no luck)? The BaofengTech instructions with the cable indicate the cable was supposed to initiate the proper downloads, and it was supposed to be a snap. Can someone lighten this poor fool?
