CHIRP

Lukas,
This issue is most likely caused by the programming cable not being fully plugged into the radio when you attempted the upload. This is a common problem with the UV-5R radio. Many swear that the plug is in fully but then are amazed that after a wiggle and a firm push it finally goes the rest of the way. This is even more of a problem with the GT-3 because of the way the socked is formed. It obviously was plugged in fully when you downloaded from your radio. I'm sure it will upload once you get the programming cable connected.

I have ensured the cable was in fully multiple times, including wiggling it while plugged in to squeezing it and holding to one side while attempting to download/upload. The only way I can think to put the cable in further is to modify the connector so I can see the plug to ensure its in. As you can see in the pictures below the cable is fully connected.

P.S. Thank for such a quick response!!!

I shaved down the connector where you suggested (where the cord enters the plastic connector) and was able to upload/download correctly.

The first download was a fluke, I don't know how it happened but it did. All of the pictures I had seen before about shaving the connector were shown shaving the sides and not where the cord went in. That was all the suggestion I needed, THANK YOU!!!

For all who wish to see my modified cord for a GT-3 Mark II it is the two photos on THIS post.

Thanks again!!!

Lukas,
I have sent the pictures to John at the miklor.com website along with a recommendation that he include them with the other pictures that he has for modifying the shell of the programming cable's plug.
Thanks,
