[chirp_users] FT-60 cable question

[Jens J.]

On yaesus at least, getting into clone mode should have nothing to do with the cable, and all about the procedure/technique.
See this nice instructional video from Tony Milluzzi, KD8RTT, on youtube: How to Program the Yaesu FT-60R with Chirp

Hi Eldon,
My problem is that on step 4 I cannot get to "F8 CLONE" it just goes to a normal radio frequency.  Could this be that I do not have a good cable that is recognizing it is in a clone application.  I had another friend clone his frequencies on to my phone and that worked good.  Do you think it might be my cable or something else, thanks
John

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.
