[chirp_users] FT 60R

[Robert Sears]

Yes, I understand that, but downloading and uploads from your radio 
follows a modified "cloning" procedure.

In essence you computer running Chirp is another radio and you are cloning.

The important point I was trying to make was to set your radio to 
receive before setting Chirp to send.
