If it's a bad cable even Linux Live CD disk won't help, but seriously, I have a Live CD disk everywhere I work. When the boss demands that "his" computer work, I can take out the Linux CD pop it in and fix Windows.
Gparted has a newer module - gpart which is excellent for recovery of bad disks.
Of course there's more.
But it is a good thing to have - I also recommend www.vinuxproject.org if you want to see what is being done for visually impaired computer users - we have about 30% of our users are radio amateurs, so we are always interesting in accessible ham software.

Hi Jay,
Thank you again, the log does help a little: ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirpui/clone.py", line 220, in run self.__radio.sync_out() File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ft60.py", line 169, in sync_out upload(self) File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ft60.py", line 64, in upload raise Exception("Radio did not respond") Exception: Radio did not respond
So at least I know Chirp knows there's something wrong. I couldn't tell that before. There is nothing in the Chirp window, or any popup, with that exception text; I'd say there's an opportunity for improvement there.
The log output is the same if the cable is connected but not the radio. Actually, as a result I feel better about the cable being the issue.
Some startup noise about a missing pangorc (something about internationalized fonts?) and a missing icon 'application-octet-stream'. I don't think that's my problem.
So, I'll wait for the new cable, I guess.
Thanks and regards,

There is a debug.log... it is at: ~/.chirp/debug.log ... that said, I
don't think it'll help, but might want to check the end of it and see what you see.
