I believe the answer is yes. Here's why. 1.The more information that we all have as users, the more helpful we can be to each other. If one of the knowledgeable people who commonly answers possibly can't answer for whatever reason, someone else may be able to pitch in and take the load off. 2. It gives a reference point to everyone that the question is being answered, and so it builds confidence in me, that if I have a question, I know this team has my back. And I have had several responses to my questions. I very much appreciated that people here are willing to openly share.
and also:
3. The information is now part of the list archives, so that people can find it there when they search, before posting here.

Just my 2 cents.

Make sure you have the 2-pin plug of the programming cable fully plugged into the socket of the radio. If you fully unplug the programming cable from the radio (no connection at all) and attempt a download, the result will be the same error.

Make sure you have selected the correct port. My programming cable is assigned COM3 but my computer has an internal serial port with nothing connected to it that is assigned COM1. If I accidentally choose COM1, I get the same error.

Use Device Manager to determine which COM port number is assigned to the programming cable. Mine has been assigned COM3.

No programming software can work until there is a complete and working connection between the radio and computer.
