I got the cable from KaWa on E-bay, recommended by another Ham.

Good.

...

Yes, I followed instructions to the letter. Appreciate any other suggestions.

The 2800 has been problematic for some folks, but I thought we had gotten those issues worked out. Which version are you using?

Chirp Version or FT 2800? I will report back......

Just so we're clear, you're hitting the button to initiate the transmission on the radio *after* you have clicked "okay" on chirp and caused it to open the progress box, right? And, you're in clone mode (ready to hit the transmit button) on the radio before clicking okay on chirp, right?

I will try again using your steps, but I think thats how I did it.

If so, please send me the debug.log file after trying to clone and I'll see if there's anything obvious in there.

ok, I will do that tomorrow first opportunity.

Thanks again for your help.
