I just received my UV-5RH, and I am not able to read or write from the thing. I've tried with both the T6UV and CHIRP software, but it always fails. Not only that, but I even bought two more programming cables (never hurts to have spares, amirite?) and they don't help. When I try to read/write, the picture of the computer comes up on the radio screen, but no data is transferred. In T6UV, it just says "Failure". In CHIRP, using the 5RM model, the message is "Error reading data from radio: not the amount of data we want". Any tips before I send this back?
