I had the same issue on my UV 5R, it was a cable problem. There are at least 2 different cables available, the one with the silver label worked

I have a V82.
I have a programming cable #SN: HNT1208A002.
I have the CHIRP software.
I have tried several com ports.
I have tried 2 different computers. One with Win7. The other with XP.
Same problem with both.
 
I can't get the radio to talk to the computer.
When trying to download from the radio I get the error message:
"Unable to probe radio band"
