Yaesu FTA-450L Programming Issue

[jake_Braker]

Hello all,
I'm attempting to program my new (to me) FTA-450L to my local airports via YCE01. The software is set to the correct device and COM port, but after 10-15 seconds after hitting "program to radio" I am given the error "Timeout!! (Sync)". I am not using a manufacturer cable as the kit I bought did not come with one. But I have had luck with previous devices (calculators and scanners) on this cable.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Some cables are data only, some are power only, and some do both.

If you have a number of USB cables, try them all. If none work, then I'd buy a Yaesu cable.

I have full confidence this is a data cable. Especially when my computer can read the device details in the COM Port settings
