[chirp_users] Need Help with Yaesu VX-3 and CHIRP

I have tried everything in the instructions and cannot get

Chirp to communicate with the radio.  As per the instructions, you

turn the radio off, connect the USB cable, then turn on the radio while

holding down the F/W key which puts the radio in CLONE mode which

shows on the display.  Then, you hit the band key and it tries to communicate

with the radio.  At first, it looks like it will work but after about 20 seconds

ERROR appears in the display.  I followed the instructions just as shown

when you start the process, but always get the ERROR message.  Just

wondering if anyone has had success with the VX-3?  WHat am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Jim, WA5DXP
