Hi Dan,
My apologies for the lack of detail.
1. Windows XP 2. Tried "Device Manager" to make sure I had the correct com port selected. A couple of times, it would show "Com 3" for example when it really was on Com 4 according to device manager. Just making sure I didn't have a Com Port selection problem. 3. First, I installed the driver from the Chinese USB cable supplier, which says it is a "Prolific"2303 All-In-One" Then tried Woxun's "Windows "USB Driver for XP" with the same result, and finally Woxun's "When All Else Fails" driver. 5. Not sure where to find the debug log. Excuse my ignorance.
Chuck
Same error message each time.

I have Chirp installed, and a USB-Baofeng cable from China (where else?). In spite of trying several drivers and com ports, I always receive a "Radio did not ACK first command" (or similar) from the software. Help, please! I've looked through the FAQ's, etc. and find nothing.

We'll need more detail about:
- Which drivers
- What you mean by "several ... com ports"
- What OS you're on
- What version of chirp you're running
- Your debug log
...basically everything that is mentioned in the "how to report issues" page on the website.
