Make sure your programming cable is FIRMLY pushed in.  You may have to hold it in or trim some of the plastic off the end to fit.

I have a machine running Ubuntu Mate. When I connect and turn on my Baofeng UV-5R radio it will transmit and will not let me use Chirp. I also have a Windows 7 computer that does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
