On yaesus at least, getting into clone mode should have nothing to do with the cable, and all about the procedure/technique.

Hi Eldon,
My problem is that on step 4 I cannot get to "F8 CLONE" it just goes to a normal radio frequency. Could this be that I do not have a good cable that is recognizing it is in a clone application. I had another friend clone his frequencies on to my phone and that worked good. Do you think it might be my cable or something else, thanks
John

John,
I followed the instructions listed on the popup box just before you read your radio (which has to occur first). The instructions are:
1. Turn radio off.
2. Connect cable to MIC/SP jack.
3. Press and hold in the [MONI] switch while turning the
radio on.
4. Rotate the DIAL job to select "F8 CLONE".
5. Press the [F/W] key momentarily.
6. After clicking OK, press the [PTT] switch to send image.
There are instructions listed before you clone your radio too.
These worked well for me.

Eldon,Thanks for your help I really appreciate it. I’m brand new to ham radios. I was trying to connect my FT 60R to Chirp and I cannot get to the “clone screen” as shown on the instructions from the web site, it only shows a radio frequency. Any ideas? Thanks againJohnFrom: chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com [mailto:chirp_users-bounces@intrepid.danplanet.com] On Behalf Of Eldon Griffiths

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] FT-60 cable questionI have had good luck with this cable set. I have programmed a Yeasu FT-60, several Baofeng models, a Kenwood TH-F6 and a Wouxon UV8D with this cable using Chirp.

The problemseems to be that the jack on that radio is machined slightly differentlyfrom a regular 3.5mm one for some reason, and when I was writing thedriver for it, I had to keep pressure on one side of it so it would makecontact.Since Yaesu doesn't provide a cable for it (remember, it's clone-able,but not PC-programmable, according to them), I'm not sure what cable torecommend.I don't own one myself, but a lot of people here do. I'm sure we can getsome good usage reports from the folks here that have one to recommend(or not).If there is a clear suggestion, then we should add it to the CableGuidepage on the chirp site.--Dan_______________________________________________chirp_users mailing listchirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.comhttp://intrepid.danplanet.com/mailman/listinfo/chirp_users--"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to E.
