<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone has had experience connecting the
FT-8800R to a computer, I would appreciate learning the correct procedure order
for download and upload.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Yaesu manual reads:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To clone from one transceiver to another, use the
following procedure:<BR>1. Insert the Cloning Cable into the DATA jack of each
transceiver.<BR>2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the “left”
[V/M] key on each radio<BR>while turning the power on again.<BR>3. Rotate the
“right” DIAL knob on each radio to select (CLONE START), then press the<BR>[SET]
key. The display will disappear for a moment, then the “CLONE” notation
will<BR>appear on the display.<BR>4. On the “destination” radio, press the
“left” [LOW] key. The “CLONE -RX-” indicator<BR>will appear on the
display.<BR>5. Now, on the “source” radio, press the “left” [V/M] key. The
“CLONE -TX-” indicator will<BR>appear on the display, and the cloning data
transfer will immediately begin.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since the computer running Chirp will be the
"TX" during download, and then "RX" during upload, there may be some question as
to whether to initiate the download first in Chirp, or transmit from the radio
first.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Likewise, to upload to the radio, it would appear
to start the radio first to receive, then have Chirp upload.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone can verify my thinking, I would
appreciate a reply.</FONT></DIV>
