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!

It isn't a problem with the programming cable. It was a bug in yesterday's daily build. Today's daily build addresses that bug so Dave's GT-5TP (or any other model affected by the bug) should program fine after today's daily build is installed.
