Yes, I understand that, but downloading and uploads from your radio follows a modified "cloning" procedure.
In essence you computer running Chirp is another radio and you are cloning.
The important point I was trying to make was to set your radio to receive before setting Chirp to send.

I don't have another radio, I was using Chirp to add more repeaters to the list. The initial cloning was done by someone else. 73 W7GUS

I have an FT-60 and you have to be quick
Here is the section from the manual on cloning.
The FT-60R includes a convenient "Clone" feature, which allows the memory and configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FT-60R. This can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio's data to another:
- Turn both radios off.
- Connect the optional CT-27 Clone Cable between the MIC/SP jacks of
the two radios. 3. Press and hold in the MONI switch (just below the PTT switch) while turning the radios on. Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). 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. 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. 8. If there is a problem during the cloning process, "ERROR" will be displayed. Check your cable connections and battery voltage, and try again. 9. If the data transfer is successful, "CLONE" will reappear on both displays. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable. You can then turn the radios back on, and begin normal operation.
Loading the radio your radio will be the Destination radio, Follow steps 1-5 Then you have to be ready with Chirp to Upload to Radio. Press the MONI key on the radio (Step 6) Then quickly press the OK button on Chirp.

Greetings I believe this may have been answered however I could not find a copy of the email. I have a FT 60 R I'm using CHIRP cable form Amazon, it has a model TW-PCMYA1U and a number PCY1004 the Prolific driver is 3.4.62.293. Following he procedure It will read from the radio, populated the CHIRP spread sheet but then on the upload it fails. A message appears "Failed to communicate with the Radio. Radio did not respond" I tried it a few times as per the video on You tube. Do I need different driver?
