Re: can not connect to cjirp
Just FYI, I still maintain "older"laptops JUST for many software titles: some Kenwood and Motorola commercial?
titles were written YEARS ago, as well as a few amateur titles ... some that still use the OLD Serial Ports.

Re: can not connect to cjirp
If the set-up stopped working, then the problem may be fixable by rolling back you device driver. Worked for me.

Re: can not connect to cjirp
That's what I use as well, on all of my Amateur radio handhelds.? ? I just wish they had programs and cables for Kenwood commercial radios.

Re: can not connect to cjirp
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.

Re: can not connect to cjirp
Prolific changed their chip and their driver.? It has nothing to do with Microsoft.? The way to deal with this is to get the older Prolific driver and re-install?it even when Microsoft tells you the driver isn't the newest.
I have a number of true Prolific serial adapters, not fake ones, that are old which quite working when Prolific decided to change their driver & chip.? Some of mine were stand-alone USB-to-serial adapters, some were embedded in simple docking stations that otherwise were still very useful and?cost $$ to replace, etc.?
They all work with the older Prolific driver through Windows 8.1 and perhaps w10 - I cannot recall.

It seems that Microsoft and/or Prolific have found a way to stick
it to the unsuspecting owners of fake chip cables.
I have two of them with Kenwood-style plugs for programming cheap
Chinese radios and the Miklor fix no longer works on my Windows
8.1 PC, whereas it used to work.
The solution was to buy an FTDI based cable.

I seem to recall using the alternate write method when I was
programing my FT-60 with free FT-60 Commander software.? It's been
quite a while so my recollection could be faulty.

Re: Cannot turn off transmit saver
Hi John,
Try a software RESET. See P64 of the manual "Reset Procedures".
There are 4 levels.
I would try F1 first. This resets all Settings to Factory Default.
Otherwise, try F4. This clears everything, including Settings,
Memories and Banks.

Re: Cannot turn off transmit saver
Might you also have Set # 41 / RXSAVE enabled (page 59 in the manual)? Setting both RXSAVE and TXSAVE to "Off" on my radios seems to stop the flashing "SAVE" on the display screen.

Re: FT60 Packet Digirig Soundmodem Winlink

Kevin,

Check out The Tech Prepper on YouTube. The FT-60 was his preferred HT for a long time, he has quite a few videos that cover packet ops and setups with the FT-60.
I can't recall if he ever did a video(s) that covers Winlink and the FT-60 but he has some videos about Winlink setups. If he doesn't have a video that covers what you are
looking for, shoot him an email at info@... Gaston is great guy, and busy, he might not reply immediately. ?
Also take a look at KM4ACK's YouTube channel, Jason has covered those topics too.

Hope that helps you out. Let us know if you get it sorted.
