Adding a fresh debug. I had assumed this was a cable driver issue, but I've confirmed the cable works fine with other radios. I tried both the front DATA, Programming Jack and the rear TRRS Line Out ports. The LED in the cable blinks one red flash then the errors show up.

It was the cable. Purchased cable #3, a "BTECH PC04 FTDI Cable Single Pin" and it worked without issue.
