[chirp_users] Problems uploading from Yaesu FT60

[Peter J. McClosky]

Hello Dave,

I know nothing about your radio or computer (I am a Mac user), but when ever I get that (Unable to communicate…) message, it is because I have transition between steps to fast.  I now let 5 to 10 seconds pass before I go to the next step in downloading to the radio.

Good luck
