I am using a FTDI cable from Mirkit. It works fine with my newer UV-5R and and old UV-5RA. But have gotten the same error from 3 different BTECH GMRS V-2 radios. I believe I am inserting it fully, and I just tried again pushing harder. I’m thinking since it says it’s not the amount of data we want that it must be connecting and reading.
