Tried adding myself to the dial out. I have also used this cable before successfully so I don't think it's a cable issue. I can turn on the radio with the cable plugged into the radio and disconnected from the computer and it doesn't transmit. Still having the same problem after trying all the solutions. Is there any other possibilities?

Thanks.

I had a cable like that once (genuine Prolific chip) and it eventually quit. But until that happens for you, as simple workaround is to set TOT to it's lowest value. The the radio will only transmit for 15 seconds and timeout. Then download from the radio into CHIRP, program a channel that has TX inhibited (Duplex = "off"). You can then set TOT back to its original value and from now on select the TX inhibited channel whenever you are going to program your radio.
