CHIRP

1. What is the behavior you are seeing? Getting "No response from radio" when trying to clone the radio
2. What is the behavior you were expecting? Cloning process can be done successfully
3. Can you reproduce the problem all the time? All the time
4. What are the steps required to reproduce the problem? Connect the programming cable to PC, connect radio and turn it on, start CHIRP and download from radio.

Recently bought Baofeng BF-888S radio in the package of two. at first i tried using the "original" Baofeng programming radio which is using Prolific driver on windows 10. 1 of the unit no problem, can connect and clone without a problem. but another unit is getting the "No response from radio" error. I am quite baffled since the unit was bought together in one packaging/box, thus most probably manufactured around the same time.

Then I tried using FTDI programming, expecting the prolific driver is the culprit. But no, same issue.

I have attached the log file, but below is the text I have copied from the log. This is my first radio set and first time using CHIRP, thus any help is much appreciated.
