Yep but the FT-60 uses the other type without threads. Nothing wrong with my cable as it has worked fine before on these two machines when I had XP on them. This has to be a COM port permissions issue or a problem with the radio or maybe the program install.

The cable I have is one from KAWAMALL of eBay. I have bought 6 cables from them and not a bad one yet.

Looks like the FT-60 uses the same type of cable that the VX-6 uses. I
couldn't get any down loads with my VX-6. I noticed that the plug on
the cable going to my radio had some screw threads on it near the
covering and when I looked in the radio plug there were some there
also. I then actually screwed the radio plug end of the cable into the
plug on my radio and everything started working just fine. Made good
contact I guess.
