Comm Settings for Programming FT-60 With CHIRP
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. 73...Bob VK2ZRE |
开云体育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. 73, Nick, AA3T

开云体育Hi Nick,I found several queries within the group looking for this info, but none of the replies stated it. The USB-Serial Bridge driver sets up a default value but I don't know if the programming software, CHIRP in this case, can actually change these settings. CHIRP does know the comm settings for each radio. So far I have only read my FT-60, it will be interesting to have a look at my Chinese radios and see if they are different. Part of the reason I had to do this was because of the recessed MIC/SP socket on the FT-60 stopping the programming plug mating correctly in the socket. This gave me multiple "read" failures, so I started looking for comm settings. It was while looking for the comm settings that I found Hugh's article. Time will tell:-) 73...Bob VK2ZRE On 21/02/2024 1:33 am, Nick Rylatt
