However, neither Chirp nor baoclone could open the serial port the USB adapter was assigned to: COM19. Hmmm, 19? Sounds way high for a serial port enumeration. I reassigned the USB adapter to the vacant COM2, and hey presto! Both utilities are able to talk to the radio.

Are you sure? You typed "COM19" into the Port field and it gave you some sort of error? What was the error message?

Incidentally, is it normal for the UV-5R to key up when the serial cable is present? I'm going to make a practice of always having a dummy load connected when programming this radio.
