No Download With CHIRP

 

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?

If you cannot get CHIRP to work, try using the FT-60 Commander. Software. You can find this program for free at KC8UNJ.com. Use the alternate write method.?

This way, you should be able to tell if it is a radio problem or software issue. ?

Found the "problem". For whatever reason it does not work at all on my Windows 10 laptop, but works like a champ on my Linux computer.
