FT60R doesn't connect
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI have an solid and reliable Win7 PC and two FT6oRs. I would like to have matching entries in both radios.I loaded the "legacy" chirp software and manually loaded the needed driver. I identified the radio in the software and selected Com4.? I have a Prolific USB to serial cable plugged into the radio. (I believe that is the correct cable). I rebooted the PC with the radio connected, but off. After reboot, I pushed the moni button while turning on the radio and progressed to the clone setting. I then pushed the F/W button and then the PTT button to try to get the radio to report to Chirp. The software displays "Cloning". After a few moments I get "An Error has occurred. Failed to communicate with the radio: Radio not responding"). The Ff60 also displayed an short error message. "Devices and Printers" and "Device manager" both confirm the Prolific is recognized at port 4 and reported as working OK. I checked to see if there was an update for the driver. It is current. Port settings are 9600>8>1>none Not sure how to proceed from here. Is there anyone who can help me get the radio talking to the PC? Your assistance would be appreciated.
