I have a V82. I have a programming cable #SN: HNT1208A002. I have the CHIRP software. I have tried several com ports. I have tried 2 different computers. One with Win7. The other with XP. Same problem with both.
I can't get the radio to talk to the computer. When trying to download from the radio I get the error message: "Unable to probe radio band"

perhaps the programming cable's driver is a problem

I had the same issue on my UV 5R, it was a cable problem. There are at least 2 different cables available, the one with the silver label worked

Your cable is more than likely okay.
The driver for Win7 is Prolific 3.2.0.0, XP is 2.0.2.1
Any driver newer than that will have potential issues.
Refer to the Drivers section of http://www.miklor.com/UV82
http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
The proper drivers are available there.
If you are receiving error messages, refer to the miklor.com Error Message page.
Please report back to see if this resolves the issue.
Hope this helps.

I'd like to add to this. Once you get the proper driver installed, especially in Windows 7, leave your cables plugged into the same port. If you switch USB ports, Windows 7 may re-enumerate the cable's ID tag in the registry and go out to the internet driver cloud and download the latest driver which might not work. So it's best to buy a USB hub if you can't dedicate one USB port to the cable. I had to do this since I have four different cables for 3 transceivers and a GRE digital scanner. Also have a bluetooth dongle, USB laser printer and USB keyboard/mouse combo.

Hi, I'm back. I tried 2 different cables. I have the proper driver. I could never get Chirp to work. Same error message with any combination of cables. I got the CS-V82 software and it works fine so I used that. Only drawback there was I had to reload my entire program by hand. The transfer feature of Chirp would not work either. Anyway the radio is working but it has problems also. It is supposed to narrow band but the mod is well over 2.5. I'm going back to CW for awhile. Thanks for the help. Don
