Found strange thing. To make it read I had to HOLD DOWN the PTT. Not just press it. Read fine and I have a good file here. Now the darn thing won't write to the radio. Is there a sequence for that I am missing? It is in --RX-- mode and seems ok except for the Error and not working. Thins radio is very new. Might Yaesu have made firmware changes to Cloning?
Thanks all!

If I was to set up the com port in advance what would be the ideal setting CHIRP wants to see?

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.
