Your cable is more than likely okay.

The driver for Win7 is Prolific 3.2.0.0, XP is 2.0.2.1

Any driver newer than that will have potential issues.

Refer to the Drivers section of http://www.miklor.com/UV82

http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php

The proper drivers are available there.

If you are receiving error messages, refer to the miklor.com Error Message page.

Please report back to see if this resolves the issue.

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue on my UV 5R, it was a cable problem. There are at least 2 different cables available, the one with the silver label worked

I have a V82.

I have a programming cable #SN: HNT1208A002.

I have the CHIRP software.

I have tried several com ports.

I have tried 2 different computers. One with Win7. The other with XP.

Same problem with both.

I can't get the radio to talk to the computer.

When trying to download from the radio I get the error message:

"Unable to probe radio band"
