FWIW, I made a global change that moved the opening of the com port for upload operation to _before_ the clone message is displayed. This was done because in my testing with FT-90, it worked fine on linux, but radio would not go into clone mode on windows xp. I suspect it had something to do with port lines (DTR/CTS, etc) or with my homebrew cable, but whatever it was, opening the port before displaying the clone instructions worked for me across platforms, and so far have not heard any other negative side-effects.

I make this comment only in the off chance that it is somehow related to the issue being described here.

I tested right now with development branch and can confirm it works like a charm. But ... you know I'm on linux, is there some one that can try with windows?
Tom, do we have something different in the build environment since the last working version?
Basil, I'm quite sure is not a cable issue as we do the same echo check on the cable during radio download, if it works in download I don't see a reason for it to refuse to work for upload. ...mmm... can you try with linux? May be with live CD if you don't have a linux machine, see http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Download#Live-CD
If we don't rule this out before, I'll try myself on a windows machine next week.

I found the source code. Thanks.
Well, I can understand why a code readability update shouldn't matter. But before dismissing the matter, shouldn't someone try to replicate my problem, i.e. actually try to program an FT-60 or an FT-8800 with the builds I reported problems with? If they do, and it works for them, then I would think that narrows it to a cable issue, and we should look at what cables are being used successfully, versus what I'm using unsuccessfully. While I will not rule out a cable issue per se, I have to be jaundiced about blaming it on the cable since I have successfully used the FT-60 cable (FTDI) with the Commander software. I purchased an FTDI cable at the same time as the other two, for a VX-7, but haven't tried to program it yet. I think I'll try to get around to it today, and see if there are related issues.

Firstly, let's handle these two radios separately. I can only test one at a time.
I don't have a FT-8800 I can borrow for testing.
The last time I borrowed an FT-60 for testing was 2013-12-18 and Chirp was working fine then: http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/1273
