K1HMS helped me resolve the problem. I share our findings for those in the future that may face the same issue.

I originally tried to use a Prolific cable and driver on Com 6 to connect My FT60 to Chirp. I also tried v3.2.0.0. It still would not work. I later purchased an FTDI cable and driver and attempted to use on the same port.

Windows I find, when it sees a particular driver already installed on a given port, reserves that driver only for that port, until that port is uninstalled and then reinstalled and then reloaded for a new driver. I had never come across that before. We uninstalled port 6 then plugged the FTDI cable in and reinstalled the correct driver. All worked from there on. Thank you again Hamilton.

Hope this short summary is correctly stated and a help for someone else in the future.

China has put out a lot of cables with fake Prolific chips in them. ?The latest updated Prolific drivers cause the fake chips to not work. The answer is to change the driver to 3.2.0.0. ? This driver can be found at , along with a large supply of other very useful items.?

? I Have 2- FT=60's that I would like to program the same.

Using a good Prolific cable that registers as "a new audio codec" in Devices and printers and in Device Manager as "USB serial port com 6", when plugged in.

Using win 7 good stable PC with all the USB drivers updated and the Chirp legacy software. Open chirp and click radio>download from radio, then port>6, vendor>Yaesu, Model>FT60>.

Then "OK" and following the radio instructions correctly>OK.

After a message that the pair is "cloning", it all ends with the message "An error has occurred. Failed to communicate with radio. Radio is not responding".

I'm aware some people have had a problem with the plug into the radio that doesn't insert easily. This one is fully inserted.

Can anyone offer help in how to resolve the problem?
Your attention and assistance would be appreciated.
