CHIRP

I am attempting to update the programming on my UV5R using a Baofeng-supplied cable. I have used the cable with CHIRP successfully several previous times, but have been unable to make it work now.

Have tried both CHIRP-next and -legacy downloads.

Using -next with COM4, I get the following error: "could not open port 'COM4': OSError(22. The semaphore timeout period has expired.', None,121'"

Switching to COM5: "could not open port 'COM5': PermissionError(13, 'Access is denied.', None,5)

I also have an option that reads "PL2303HXA PHASED OUT SINCE 2012. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER. (COM7). Choosing this option doesn't work either.

I've included the debug.log ¶

I also attempted using CHIRP-legacy, which defaults to COM5 (the only listed option.) No error message, but the "CLONING PROGRESS" never starts.

As I said, I have used this cable and previous CHIRP versions successfully. I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop running Windows 10.
