<div> <font size="-1">Yes, it does make sense. Serial
connections use *two* independent data lines (plus
ground): RX and TX.<br>
<br>
If you trigger your radio to give you all its data
(download contents), then the radio will use its TX line
to feed the RX of the USB cable. Chirp reads it from
there. The radio's RX line is not in use for this task.<br>
</font><br>
But when you try to upload data, then the TX line of your
cable tries to feed into the RX line of your radio. It
attempts to send a command causing the radio to accept data.
There's a disconnect. Nothing arriving at the radio, which
otherwise would send an acknowledgement back.<br>
<br>
Check your cable and connector.<br>

<br>
</font>This looks like a cable / driver /
connector issue. Please refer to these Wiki
articles:<br>
CableGuide<br>
CableGuide FTDI OEM Cables<br>
<br>
*Linux notes:* Linux generally is quite good
with USB to Serial converter drivers. The most
likely cause for grief is a connector which
doesn't provide good electrical contact. In your
case, it looks like serial TX is not making
contact. Check your cable and connector.<br>
