You need the custom Yaesu mic/headphone adaptor cable and connect your computer cable to the smaller jack.

Anyone have any advice on getting my new Yaesu VX-8DR to communicate? Each time I try the radio will show "ERROR" after a few moments and a short time later CHIRP will show "An error has occurred Failed to communicate with the radio: No response from radio" I've tried the following: -2 different cables (one Prolific from GoodQBuy and one FTDI from Valley Enterprises) both produce same result. -Setting radio into clone mode and starting to transmit only after starting receive in CHIRP. -Downloaded newest version of CHIRP. -Ran updates and rebooted PC. -Switched USB ports (with cables). -Updated drivers for both cables. -Factory reset on radio. -Selected other radio models when downloaded (VX-8, VX-8R and VX-8GE). -Checked connection at the radio and it appears to be tight. I've used CHIRP on Baofeng, BTECH and a few other brands/models and never encountered an issue that wasn't easily resolved. Any help or advice is much appreciated! -73 Brian WB2EE
