Problem solved.

After a bit for framing about I was able to uninstall Chirp.  I had to use several different methods but I “got her done”

Then I reloaded and using the file tab I opened a “new” file.  Then the radio would download to the program, I modified and uploaded.  Later that same day I was able to upload to another FT-60.

While I certainly do appreciate all the interest and advice I am led to note that those responding to a request should thoroughly read and understand the original post.   For example, I specified all the test and trials I had done only to have about half a dozen “helpful” replies ask or suggest that exact procedure.   Once or twice it was an effort to stay polite.

Anyway, thanks and 73 to all who responded.
