I've always used purpose-specific software (i.e., not CHIRP) to
program my Yaesu handhelds but I have used CHIRP to program some
cheap Chinese radios.
I haven't made any programming changes to my cheap Chinese radios
with CHIRP for quite some time (except for a recently-added
Quansheng) but I don't recall ever needing to know the
communications settings such as you presented.? It's as if CHIRP
already knows this information based on the mfr and model number
of the radio.
It's curious to me that you needed to do this.

Hello All,
After tearing my hair out and spending many fruitless hours
searching the net for these settings, I finally found them.
In CHIRP! In the Log. (After several failed attempts)
They work. I was able to read the radio. Haven't tried an upload
yet but I am sure all is now sorted out.
Here are the settings
Baud: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None
Hope this helps some other hapless soul out there:-)
PS: I bought an JiYKR / WakeSnow 8-in-1 Programming Cable from a
supplier in Australia.
It will program most commonly available Japanese and Chinese and
some Motorola radios. They are readily available on the net.
NOTE: I had to file the end of the plastic connector body down to
6mm diameter to fit fully into the recessed "MIC/SP" socket on the
radio.
Thanks to Hugh Burnham M0WYE for the socket "heads up" in his
article "Connecting a Microphone and Loudspeaker to the Yaesu
FT60E Transceiver" in the Files section of this group.
