[chirp_users] Help needed, can't write to Yaesu FT-60

[chirp.cordless at xoxy.net]

Thanks for the advice, I may need it for the new cable.

I just tried it with the one I have, an even dozen times, pressing the
plug housing in various directions with one hand while hitting the OK
button in Chirp. Sometimes easy, and sometimes about as hard as I
feel comfortable pushing on this stuff.

No change in results, 12 identical no-response messages in the log.

The new cable has shipped.
