The cable, which doesn't have any ID on it anywhere (except for a USB symbol and something else near it which I don't recognize) was supposed to be the correct cable to use in programming a pair of new Baofeng F8HPs. With my Windows 7 machine, I got the "Radio did not respond" message about a dozen times. I've pushed that cable in so hard I surprised it didn't come out the other side.
I realize I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but does this sound like a cable issue, HT, user or a driver issue ( I've tried several times to manually install a driver with no luck)? The BaofengTech instructions with the cable indicate the cable was supposed to initiate the proper downloads, and it was supposed to be a snap. Can someone lighten this poor fool?
