My issues with the UV-5R5 have been solved. When I first tried to program those radios, I was at a friend's home (he owns the radios) and was using his cable and his version of CHIRP.

When I returned to my shop and tried programming those radios, I was using my own cable and my version of CHIRP which is the latest one. I always go to the CHIRP site and download and install the latest version before I begin to program any radio which uses CHIRP.

No errors occurred and it worked just fine.

My cable is an FTDI, while his is...not...

Thanks for the help, folks.
