CHIRP worked fine on my 7800, and I have a cable that goes from the 6 way din to USB.

I think you need a different cable. It sounds like you are trying to
feed USB to the radio. The radio doesn't have USB.
I use a USB to RS-232 serial dongle then the radio cable converts
RS-232 to TTL.

Also be aware that Chirp does not work properly with the FT-7800R.
Some of the tone modes that the radio has are not supported in Chirp.

ok, Im not really good with computers. I have a yaseu ft 7800 and a hp

laptop with no serial ports. I have a ps2 male to ps2 male cable and a

ps2 to usb adapter. I had to run a virtual com port program and then

chirp. I followed the on screen directions for my radio. I on the

radio it says tx for 2 or 3 seconds and then error. the pc says

cloneing, then error occured, unabe to communicate with radio. failed
