[chirp_users] FT-60 cable question

[Eldon Griffiths]

John,

I followed the instructions listed on the popup box just before you read 
your radio (which has to occur first). The instructions are:
1. Turn radio off.
2. Connect cable to MIC/SP jack.
3. Press and hold in the [MONI] switch while turning the
      radio on.
4. Rotate the DIAL job to select "F8 CLONE".
5. Press the [F/W] key momentarily.
6. After clicking OK, press the [PTT] switch to send image.
There are instructions listed before you clone your radio too.

These worked well for me.
