Re: [chirp_users] yaesu vx5r

I have a VX-5r and also had trouble in the start. I bought my cable off E-bay and it said it was for the VX-5r and a couple others.

Anyway I found that it was making intermittent contact inside and if I lightly press on the connector it worked.

My cable has a 90 degree plug on the radio end, I make sure it is pointing down the side if the radio and put a rubber band around it to hold it in place.

Now it works every time.

 I have been trying to program a VX5R with no success, I have 

tried 2 different types of USB cables and 2 different types of programs, chirp being one of them.

 I am able to read from the radio but when I go to write to the 

radio I get a comm error message.

 Has anyone else run into this problem?
