[chirp_users] Need help with kenwood th-k2

Hello, I am having trouble using CHIRP with my kenwood th-k2. When I first try to download from radio I get nothing. It just sits there. If I try to download a second time I get an error that access to com port is denied. I am using a mirkit ftdi cable that has worked well with my boafeng radios and CHIRP. I have the PC setting on the th-k2 set to "on". What am I missing?Thanks for any help. Susan WB5JFL

First I would double check to make sure you are choosing the correct COM port. Second I would make sure the 2-pin plug of the programming is fully inserted into the socket of the radio.
