I've seen so many email threads discussing the seating of the cable into the radio. Mine did not fit very well into my radio until I took a razor blade and cut a little bit of the rubber out of the corner of the connector. I have had no problems with that cable since. You need to feel that cable clicking into the radio and if you cut that excess rubber out of the way, then you will get that verification confirmation.

Greetings Harsha,
When I first started w the Baofeng, I had cable trouble. I was advised to make sure that the connector to the radio was well seated. I checked it and it seemed fine. After several failed attempts, I took special care to see how well it seated, and found that it really must be /firmly/ pushed in to be fully seated. Since then, no problems with several releases of CHIRP.
