If it's a bad cable even Linux Live CD disk won't help, but seriously, I have a Live CD disk everywhere I work. When the boss demands that "his" computer work, I can take out the Linux CD pop it in and fix Windows.<br>
<br>Gparted has a newer module - gpart which is excellent for recovery of bad disks.<br><br>Of course there's more.<br><br>But it is a good thing to have - I also recommend <a href="http://www.vinuxproject.org" target="_blank">www.vinuxproject.org</a> if you want to see what is being done for visually impaired computer users - we have about 30% of our users are radio amateurs, so we are always interesting in accessible ham software.<br>

Hi Jay,<br>
<br>
Thank you again, the log does help a little:<br>
...<br>
Traceback (most recent call last):<br>
File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirpui/clone.py", line 220, in run<br>
self.__radio.sync_out()<br>
File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ft60.py", line 169, in sync_out<br>
upload(self)<br>
File "/Applications/.../chirp-0.2.3.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ft60.py", line 64, in upload<br>
raise Exception("Radio did not respond")<br>
Exception: Radio did not respond<br>
<br>
So at least I know Chirp knows there's something wrong.<br>
I couldn't tell that before. There is nothing in the Chirp window, or any popup,<br>
with that exception text; I'd say there's an opportunity for improvement there.<br>
<br>
The log output is the same if the cable is connected but not the radio.<br>
Actually, as a result I feel better about the cable being the issue.<br>
<br>
Some startup noise about a missing pangorc (something about internationalized<br>
fonts?) and a missing icon 'application-octet-stream'. I don't think that's my problem.<br>
<br>
So, I'll wait for the new cable, I guess.<br>
<br>
Thanks and regards,<br>
<br>
