With no cable plugged in can you start the clone mode? My FT8900 will
and will sit in RX waiting for data forever. Now if you go to TX it will time
out because there is no cable but at least I've established that the radio
is working. I don't know gives you instruction when to press for TX but the
software has to be ready to RX or TX on the radio will time out. RX on the
radio is more lenient. And Chirp might walk you through when to push what
I don't know haven't used it yet. Usually though with radios that require
timing to RX data from the radio the software should
prompt you when to
do what.
Your FT7900 clone mode is basically the same as my FT8900. Turn the
radio on while holding the MHZ key. Rotate the channel encoder to
item 7. Press SET again, the display blacks out then will come
back saying
CLONE. Then you can press VM or LOW and the radio will start to TX or RX.
First couple times I forgot to press SET again after selection #7. Give that
a try.

Programming Yaesu FT7900
I am having trouble programming my radio via the programming cable.
I can get the
radio into Clone mode by pressing the MHz PRI button on
startup. However, it won't go into TX or RX by pushing the LOW/ACC or
V/M MW button as described in the "cloning" section of the manual.
When I start Chirp and go to "download from radio" it gives me the box
with Port com 3, radio Yaesu and Model FT-7800. When I try to download
the profile from the radio I get the error message
"failed to communicate with the radio: Failed to read header (0).
Now what?
Thanks
Dave KG7HBQ
