Folks, the OPC-1797 cable does not connect to the data pins on the 92AD. Thus, unless you can find some leaping electrons, you cannot use it to program / control the radio. Many of us tried, always wishing to avoid the awful price if the 1799.
I did a lot of searching and think I found the proper Hirose connector - at least as close as I could mike the dimensions. However the cost of that connector was $12.95 plus shipping and the catalog said that it required special tooling to assemble. The OPC-1799 started to look pretty cheap.

well the program tested the cable and said it is working just fine. I tested it both with and without the opc-1797 cable attached with the same results. So that would seem to indicate a problem with the radio or
chirp.
The cable you need to use with the 92AD would fail a loopback test because it's not a looped cable. If that test passes, then I'd expect you're using an OPC-478 and the bayonet adapter to connect it. If so, that won't work with CHIRP. CHIRP talks to the 92AD in live high-speed mode, which doesn't require going into clone mode, and which won't work with the OPC-478.
See the entry for the 92AD on the CableGuide page:
