I have tried Hyperterminal, and I get part way.
I set the Com 1 port (since I am using the "real serial cable" to 19200 baud, and 8-N-1 with no flow control.
At step 3, I get nothing back when I type anything. And I don't think I should since there is no "wrap" plug on the cable connecting "data out" back to "data in" or TxD to RxD, if you prefer.
I tried steps 4 and 5, and nothing happens.
Thanks.

That is the way I have been doing it!
So, if you want to try something:
- Open up HyperTerminal
- Set to the proper COM port, no flow control, 19200 baud
- Type something, which should be echo'd to the screen if the cable is working as expected (even when not connected to the radio)
- Then put your radio in clone mode and hit the band key
- See if you get "AH028" on your screen
If you do, then I'm out of ideas. If you don't then there's something wrong with the cable, serial port, radio, etc.
