Hi Tim, sorry to hear about your heard issues.
Can you please confirms that the cable interface is working? (it looks to me as a interface problem)
Also, your radios has the LCD backlight on?
There is a know issue with this radios about this: usually the kenwood interface for this radios take power from the radio not from the PC, and the power is taken from the same rail the LCD leds are powered.
For some reason with time (or a mic cable short) a medium power resistor burn out in the main board and get the front panel without +12V, that not a problem to the normal operation as it works on +5v, but the backlight gone off and the programmer has no power to feed from and always fails to operate.
Can you check that please?

I apologize for the long delay. With health issues and an amount of tracel out of the way I have just tested 4 radios. 2 TK-762 and 2 TK-762H none worked. The CHIRP options of TK-760G & TK-762G appears to read from the radio then throws the error
