ERROR: Failed to Connect to the transceiver (Radio)
If it says it cannot connect to the radio - this means the cable is working but is not installed correctly
into the radio.
Items to Check:
 Radio is turned on
 The cable is FULLY inserted (it can be deceiving but there is a double click)
 Hold the cable into the radio - some radios might not make contact without pressure
 A way to cheat - dampen the pins of the cable before pushing it into the radio. This will give a
solid contact
