You do not have a working connection between the radio and computer. CHIRP is not getting a data back from the radio.

I would suspect that you either do not have a compatible device driver installed or you do not have the 2-pin plug fully engaged with the socket of the radio.

You were correct, I did not realize how hard I had to push the connecter into the radio. Thank you for the help.
