Yeah, this seems to be quite a common occurrence with Chinese radios using the kenwood-type connector. It caused me trouble so many times :)
Simply make sure that both parts are deep enough, often you'll have to cut off a bit of plastic from the radio casing.

Dave, I have a cable that does the same thing when plugging into my 5R and F8HP, so I took my knife and slightly shave just to the inside of the 'angle' so that it snapped into the radio better because I worried I would bend or snap the pins if I pushed too hard each time. Just a tip!

Hello All,

I've read on a few amazon reviews that the Baofeng GT-5TP can be programmed using chirp using the UV-82HP setting. I can not get the radio to work
