Got the interface box and the cable for my FT-60R. Used the "Commander" software. All FB, reads radio, saved file, made a few tweeks to the file, and wrote to the radio.
Today, I decided to make a few more changes. Can't read to the radio. Can't write to the radio. I have the proper COM port, the COM port/cable test program says cable is Ok. The interface to radio cable rings out OK with an Ohm meter. No shorts, only one signal wire is supposed to be there, by my understanding. Tried re-installing the driver and software, got a copy of the control program from the guy in the UK as well. No joy. Symptom - software attempts to read/write from/to radio. I go through the song and dance to get into "clone" mode with Rx or Tx, as appropriate. Nothing happens. Surely nothing obvious. Also reset the radio, just in case something was funny. Radio programs fine manually. Have an e-mail in to Rob McGarty at ttl2USB.COM, but have not received a reply. Any bright ideas?? Unless I have a screwed up/defective radio, the problem seems to be on the radio side of the interface. BTW, the jumper inside the interface is pushed on correctly. /paul W3FIS |

Bought my cable from Bob G4HFQ. Worked fine with my VX-150 but had the same problem when I used it with my FT-60R. With Bob's help, we discovered the plug was not making full contact on the FT-60R end. Shaved about 1mm off the shoulder and the problem was resolved. Rich KC8TJ |

often windoZ will assign the port someone said they had to load the drivers each time then plug in the cable in order to read/write their ft60 there is probably some way to address it manually but, that is the solution I recall being posted peace, haans :) On Aug 17, 2011, at 6:16 PM, W3FIS wrote: Ok, I'll check again, but I'm pretty sure I did. |
