[chirp_users] Problems uploading from Yaesu FT60

[Dave Capstick]

Hi All,my first post and a new user to Chirp. I would like to program my Yaesu FT60 with various local repeaters and the frequencies for some FM satellites. I am using Windows 8.1, the latest version of Chirp (updated today) and a cable from here Yaesu FT-60 USB Programming CableDownloading from my FT60 is fine. I then edit the file and try to upload. That's when I get the message 'Failed to communicate with radio: Radio did not respond'
I have looked at some online documentation and I am aware that for Yaesu radios you need to follow the steps very carefully.  These are the steps which i took:
- connected my cable to laptop and radio (drivers were installed on first connection)
- held MONI button in while switching radio on. Released MONI button.- used selector knob to move to f8 CLONE- Pushed f/w key. Screen blinks- in Chirp - I downloaded from the radio. I checked the correct COM ports in device manager. Download was successful- I edited downloaded file in Chirp- To upload I pressed MONI - RX appeared on the screen.- I attempted to upload to the radio but as soon as I tried this I got the error message - failed to communicate with radio
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Any help much appreciated.  I've attached the .img file for reference
Cheers
Dave
