Thanks guys! I deleted the Chirp app, rebooted, and reinstalled the app. I now have the dialog box and will attempt to program a few things.
You guys are great! Thank you for your help! I was getting pretty frustrated.

Hi Jim,
Sorry to bother you again.
I have come to the conclusion that I may have a defective cable or the
cable is not seating enough to make sufficient contact. I hit the "download from radio" and absolutely nothing happens. The radio is on and the cable is tightly secured (as much as possible). The screen remains blank and I don't get a box to enter any other information. This radio (UV 9R Plus) has a unique cable that differs from other Baofengs.
I'm about ready to send the radio and cable back and buy a different
radio. I picked this one because it is waterproof.
You have been very kind with your suggestions.
Thanks again, Paul
Paul,
If you choose "Download From Radio" and don't get a "Radio" dialog box that allows you to choose the Port, Vendor and Model, then you have a problem with your CHIRP installation. I would uninstall CHIRP, reboot for good measure, and then install CHIRP again. If you are running Windows, I would right-click the CHIRP installer file and then choose "Run as administrator" even if the Windows user is already an administrator.
And this isn't CHIRP related, but none of the so-called "waterproof" Baofeng radio models are waterproof. At best they can be described as water resistant.
