[chirp_users] error Programming FT897

[Dave Nathanson]

Hi Don,
The Yaesu radios require being in the correct "Clone" mode before they will accept data transfer. You'll need to power up the radio while holding down another button. Are you doing that? Does the radio say something about "Clone" on the display? 
CHIRP usually pops up a helpful message with the details just before the clone operation begins. But people often dismiss all dialog boxes without reading them, or they click the box to never tell me this again. ANyway, that's probably the direction to look in. 

73,

Trying to program FT897
running win8, the prolific driver is good, I can use my other cables to program baofeng radios fine. the cable for the 897 when plugged in results in no errors, I have the latest Chirp daily build installed.
when trying to download from the radio, it does not communicate at all.
I set the baud rate on both the radio and the com port to make sure they are the same
no luck, any other ideas for things i can try?

sorry if this is dupe, the first one i got a bounce

thanks
