Richard, disconnect the antenna and turn on the squelch so you have NO audio. I've had audio output kill the download/upload
I would never recommend that anyone remove the antenna from a radio being programmed with a USB programming cable. Having an incompatible driver installed, not having the cable fully plugged into the radio and pulling the USB end of the programming cable out of the computer before removing the plug from the radio usually result in the radio going into TX mode. Transmitting without an antenna can damage the radio.
So if you must remove the antenna, replace it with a dummy load or tune to a TX inhibited channel if your radio supports TX inhibited channels.
