Thanks Fred

OK some more information.

I have CHIRP Version 0.2.3 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

I have the RT Systems USB cable for the FT60-R and an aftermarket USB cable
for the UV-5R.

I have installed the drivers for both above cables and verified the COM
Port they are using. Both are COM4.

I started CHIRP software, plugged in the RT Systems USB cable, held down
the Moni key while turning on the FT60-R and the software responded with an
error message stating:

"An Error has occurred. Radio is not responding" with an OK button.

Now I was told by a friend that the FT60-R has a problem conneting for the
1st time, but it will be easier there after. But then what are the tricks
that will make it easier to connect the first time?

Thanks

73

You may need to plug in the cable before starting CHIRP, so it picks the correct driver.

I unsuccessfully tried using a cheap aftermarket cord for my UV-5R+ on both Linux and Win7. I never could get the radio to communicate.

I ended up purchasing a cord from Valley Enterprises (no relation with the company) and it worked. (No driver was needed for Linux. I did need to download a driver for Win7.)

I believe the cord was originally for a Kenwood KPG-22 radio. (Valley's part# RPC-K1-UF.)

Now for something fun... get a female SMA to PL259 adapter, and run your Baofeng through a mobile antenna. You'll be happy! <grin>

V0.2.2 doesn't support the UV-5R. You need the latest daily build.

Hi Wassim

My suspect is that you simply miss a step: after starting chirp download
you should tell to the radio to start clone-tx (from FT60 userm manual):

4. Rotate the DIAL job on each radio to select to ?F8 CLONE,?
then press the [F/W] key momentarily.
5. The display will disappear for a moment, then the ?CLONE?
notation will appear on the displays of both radios when the
Clone mode is successfully activated in this step.
6. (don't do this!!!) On the Destination radio, press the MONI switch
(?--RX- -? will appear on the LCD).
7. Press the PTT switch on the Source radio; ?- -TX- -? will appear
on the Source radio, and the data from this radio will be transferred to
the other radio

In a similar way when you'll have to "save" to FT60 you have to put the
radio in clone rx following the same procedure as above but doing step 6
and not step 7 before to start chirp upload.

Hope this can help
