Boafeng can’t be reprogrammed once you program them it is set

Years ago, I bought a 5 dollar cable to program my Baofeng. It didn't work. I was informed many cloned FTDI cables don't work.
I bought the Baofeng cable, about $20 at the time. Always works.

I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5.  I could not connect to the radio.  Now I've tried on another laptop running Ubuntu 22.04LTS.  Still no dice.  The "Help me" under port says "Your cable appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"

Maybe the cable is bad?

Rich,

How are COM Ports tested in Linux?  I know in Windows, Device Manager can be used.

Thanks,
David

Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.

Hi John,
Might the tuned frequency be receiving traffic while you are connected?
If so, make sure it's on a quiet channel.
HTH.

I get "Error reading data from radio"  I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG  It is plugged in all the way!

I cannot find a debug.log  There is no option for one in my CHIRP  (CHIRP next-20230712 on Python 3.8.10 wxPython 4.0.7 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.0.4)  And none is created in ~/.chirp  While CHIRP is still running:

joliver@blinky:~$ ls .chirp/
chirp.config  stock_configs

In the terminal I launched CHIRP:

joliver@blinky:~$ ./.local/bin/chirp
02:52:04 PM: Debug: Unrecognized accel key 'backspace', accel string ignored.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
