Yes, it is a known good cable. Used on another baofeng recently.

I have tried all the baofeng models and radioditty models.

For some it says

Error reading data from radio: Not the amount of data we want.

or it says

Clone failed: Radio did not ack the programming mode.

or it says (for most)

Clone failed: Radio did not respond.

I was running chirp launched from the command line so I have the messages, but it does not always show which driver/model was being tried.

The messages are similar regardless of using chirp legacy (flatpak) or chirp-next.

Sorry, but I noticed that I forgot to show that I am using linux (Fedora 37 with python 3.11) for chirp-next released 20230309 or the legacy flatpak 20221217

I see three models of UV-82 (UV-82, UV-82HP, UV-82WP), I assume you tried all 3, correct?

What does chirp do when you try to read the radio? What is the error message?

Is this a known-good programming cable?

Are you certain the radio isn't receiving a signal while trying to read from it? (Remove antenna, choose a 'quiet' channel, etc)
