[chirp_users] FT-60R can't upload to radio
I'm having an issue with CHIRP and my Yaesu FT-60R. I can download from the radio, but can't upload. A bit of Googling showed me that this is not an uncommon issue. Following some of the advice I found on there, I picked up an FTDI USB-Serial adapter (I was using a Prolific at first), but the issue persists. I keep getting the "Radio did not respond" error when I try to upload.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

You might try buying the Yeasu cable. That's what I use and have no problems.

Interesting...I just tried FT-60 Commander, and at first the radio also did not respond. Then I tried its "Alternate Write Mode" and it worked! I don't know what this mode is doing, as I can't find the source code for Commander online anywhere. I'm guessing it's doing something with either flow control or the DSR/DTR lines, but I don't know for sure.

I bought a cheap cable on Amazon for the FT-60 that had mixed reviews. I couldn't upload from my windows laptop. I moved it to my Mac and it worked fine.
There have been three or four updates to chirp since I had the failure, so I should retry it.
