It is a programming cable issue. CHIRP is not getting a reply back from the radio after it sends the request to begin the cloning process after trying 5 times. You would get the exact same error if you attempted to download with the plug not inserted into the radio. My guess is that the issue has something to do with the connection between the plug and the radio's socket. Check to see that nothing is keeping the plug from being fully inserted into the socket.
