[chirp_users] Chirp will download from FT-60, but not upload.
Having issues uploading from Chirp to a Yaesu FT-60. Have tried two different computers, both with serial ports, using a serial to 4-pin programming cable. Both computers are running Windows XP Pro SP3.
Chirp successfully installed on both machines and will read from the radio without issue. When I try to upload back to the radio, even the file it just read, I get a message that "An error has occurred - Failed to communicate with radio: Radio did not respond"
The radio was in the RX mode at the time, is fully charged and works otherwise.
Suggestions? Thanks! Keith-
Tried using UV-5R setting on my new GT-3 but it does not communicate with the radio. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack W4GRJ

1. Make sure you have a compatible driver installed. Programming cables with Prolific chips almost always require you to use an older or patched driver to be compatible.
Windows XP: V2.0.2.1 Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1: V3.2.0.0
http://www.miklor.com/COM/UV_Drivers.php
Mac OS X
http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/MacOS_Tips (generic drivers)
Linux
Compatible drivers are often already installed. Give CHIRP Live CD a try (you can "burn" it to a USB flash drive). Since the OS is Xubuntu Linux, if this works with your programming cable and Windows or OS X doesn't work, you have at least determined the problem is not your programming cable or CHIRP.
2. Make sure the cable is fully plugged into the radio. This trips up a lot of owners of the UV-5R (and variants like the GT-3).

The issue of the cable seating in the radio is especially likely with the GT-3, as it has rounded sides which can prevent the cable from seating. I had to use a knife to trim my cable before it would work with the GT-3.

That did it, I ground out the underside of the connector.
Now works perfect.
Thanks.Jack
