If you want a cable that will always work get them from RTSYSTEMS. I have no interests in their company.

I had issues with the Baofeng Tech cable on a UV82-HP within the last 6 months. I trimmed the cable to insure a good fit etc. Finally I tried my Wouxon cable that I also had and it worked like a charm. Since the HT I was trying to program was a gift for my granddaughter I immediately ordered another Wouxon cable to give to her. It works on the Kenwood's and other like radios with the same type connections.
So I threw away both Baofeng cables and stick with something I know works.

Anyone got any good ideas? Given that the radio doesn't go into transmit mode when the serial port is open I can't see how it can be bad cable / poor connections.
Richard,
I have never had this issue (yet) with any of my Linux distros. However it seems that you are not alone. A patch was recently submitted for what seems to be a similar issue. You can review it here.
