I have two FT-60R handhelds. I cannot get them to download to CHIRP. I hold the Moni and turn it on, select F8 Clone, hit F/W and it is in clone mode. When I hit PTT, it never goes to ---TX---. Doesn't matter whether cable is attached or not, or whether CHIRP has been started or not. Every now and then, sometimes holding the PTT for just a second, sometimes holding it for 5-10 seconds, it will momentarily go into ---TX---, but never does the download. CHIRP eventually says "Failure to communicate with radio: Radio not responding."
?
I did this a year or so ago and right after pushing the PTT for a second, it went right into ---TX---. Now it doesn't.
?
Pushing the Moni button it goes right into ---RX---, but I have no file to upload. I know I had files for this radio previously, but I seem to have lost them.
?
My programming cable uses an FTDI chip. It is an after market MIRKIT cable. I've not seen any complaints about it.
?
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
