[chirp_users] Chirp Data transfer

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

What you describe is the way I am doing it.

Yes, I have plugged and unplugged the cable several times.  Same 
result.  I am sure it is in all the way.

I am using ver 0.1.11

By the way, I am using Win XP with SP3.

Since I wrote this, I also got an older serial cable (as in 9 pin D 
connector and not usb) that I had for a VX-5, and tried it.  Same 
result (although it is on Com 1).

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
