The TH-F6a works differently. You don’t download from it and upload to it; rather, you modify it in real time. You view how it’s programmed, and change it live. I’ve not seen any other radio be programmed this way before.
You can’t even truly save the config, since you’re just viewing it, not transferring a program to it, but you can save it as a .csv (comma-delineated file) so that you can put it back in the radio if you like.

Are you uploading from the radio first and then set your programming and then downloading to your radio ?

I start CHIRP and select Radio -> Download from radio. I get a dialog box into which I put the Port, Vendor, and Model. I then click OK. The radio's transmit light flashes once, then the dialog box in CHIRP goes away and nothing happens after that. Any ideas?
