Description

+1. What is the behavior you are seeing?+

Chirp can successfully download data from my FT-60R but cannot upload. When attempting to upload I get an error: "Failed to communicate with radio: Radio did not respond"

I am using a cheap eBay universal programming cable with several interchangeable connectors. It uses the popular PL2303 USB-serial converter (or a knockoff). Initially, I suspected this was a driver or cable issue. I tried several drivers, including the official Prolific drivers as well as the ones recommended in the Chirp wiki but had no success in getting uploading functionality to work. My current driver is the open source "osx-pl2303".

However: using the same OS, cable, driver, and radio I was able to successfully download radio data, make changes, and then upload it using the "@baoclone@ utility":https://code.google.com/p/baoclone/wiki/YaesuFT60R

This leads me to believe that the uploading problem is caused by Chirp itself.

+2. What is the behavior you were expecting?+

If uploading using baoclone works, uploading using Chirp should also be able to work.

+3. Can you reproduce the problem all the time?+

Yes.

+4. What are the steps required to reproduce the problem?+

Upload data to the radio using Chirp

+5. Is this specific to a certain radio model (driver) or something that you can reproduce with another radio?+

This is the only radio I have.

+System Information+

OS: OS X 10.9.2
Chirp version: chirp-daily-20140428
USB Serial driver: net.sourceforge.osx-pl2303 (1.0.1)
