CHIRP

Not the cable, I work in internet tech support, so My first step in anything is unplug it and plug it back in. I reseated the cable several times, powered the radio on and off several times and nothing worked until I deleted the frequency from channel 4 and programmed it to channel 5. then it worked fine. I also have an electronics cradle that the radio was sitting in to prevent the bale from being knocked loose. Like I said, not sure what the cause was, but the TX backlight lit up and stayed lit, and the TX light on the case lit up red and started flashing quickly red during the cloning attempts while the freq was stored in the channel 4 slot. Not sure what caused it but I am 100% positive that the cable was secure in the radio and the radio was on.

Started getting this issue again actually. I updated to the most recent daily build and added a frequency to my channels no problem, went back today to make some changes to my stored frequencies and all I get is a radio did not respond error. However if I switch over to the UV5R VIP software it downloads from and uploads to the radio with no issue so I know its not the cable connection.
