In Chirp, don't you go to the Radio menu and choose "download from Radio" which brings up the little menu to choose the radio make, model and com port. Then, for my Yaesu FT-897, at least, I have to have it in
This is where I don't get the little window for choosing com port and the other things, it just never comes up.
Clone mode (on that radio, I turn it on whilst pressing both arrow keys) and then set Chirp to listen by pressing OK (or whatever) and then press the "Send" key (there is a label on the screen above the three keys). After a moment the transfer takes place and a table appears in Chirp...

My Rig is the VX5R and according to the FAQ for Yaesu it says to put the rig in Clone mode, then launch Chirp and click on "Download from rig". When I do that I get nothing.
You should get *something*, either a prompt asking what COM port and radio you want to download from, or an error message. If you don't get *anything*, the only thought I have is that maybe you don't have any COM ports. Your debug.log should provide a clue.

I may have to go back to using my other PC which has Linux, or use the VX commander.
If it works with VX5 Commander, it will work with Chirp. They both require the same COM port and USB/serial driver. Trying with VX5 Commander would be a good test. (Note: You can import VX5 Commander .vx5 files into Chirp)
If you have Linux available, certainly try it there. It doesn't suffer from the same complicated driver issues as Windows, so things tend to just work.
