This Yaesu USB cloning cable is the one you want if you are running Chirp! Along with Chirp, it had me up and running programming both of my FT-60r radios with my Mac desktop in about 10 minutes, and I'd never programmed a radio by computer before. I should have bought this YEARS ago! Fast shipping, too. Chirp shareware is also highly recommended. Duplicated by Bug #3247: Yaesu FT-60 Downloads from radio fine.will not upload t. Closed:: duplicated by Bug #4893: Yaesu Ft-60 Still not uploading to radio Closed:. I have tested recently with a Mac, Chirp (installed from brew, updated as of a week ago), and a USB-57A cable from RT Systems and can verify I've had. The main reason is that I already have Bob Freeth's marvelous programs for each of the Yaesu radio types I own (an FT60R, 2 VX-150s, an FT7900, an FT2900, and an FT-817) and they work flawlessly. No need to purchase the RT system There is two ways to upload the Ft 60 into chirp, look in the chirp help file as it explain both options, as I.
Chirp covers a long list of frequencies, as well as different radio types. Another benefit is the possibility of interaction with radio databases found on the Internet. Chirp provides support for a number of different radio brands. Check out their website for the current status; they are always adding more manufacturers.

If you are wondering what Amateur Radio is about, it's basically a two way radio service where licensed operators throughout the world experiment and communicate with each other on frequencies reserved for license holders.

Description
I am able to download from all of my radio's and save the image files. I am not able to upload however.
I always start by first downloading from the radio. I then import the data into exact same tab or change the data in the tab. I then try to upload. Weather the radio is connected or not the same error appears. Radio did not respond.
I am using a Keyspan USA-19HS USB to serial adapter. It has a Texas Instruments chipset. Someone else posted in the forums that it was a good adapter. I actually have two of these adapters. I use these adapters to program Fanuc controlled machines at work and also to console into my cisco switches without any issues. I also use them to control my Yaesu FT-897D. I just realized I have not tried it since installing Chirp and associated software. But I have tried both adapters with my FT-60s.
The drivers for the keyspan adapter appear when running the suggested terminal commands.
I'm anxious to use this app and greatly appreciate your efforts. Thanks:)
I'm running OS 10.8.5. I have downloaded the latest build several times just to be extra sure.

Hi Calvin
this seems to be related to other issue we had on MacOS.

Please download a fresh daily version of Chirp and try the solution I suggested for issue #1715 in note 16
I'm confident it can solve your problem.

I downloaded the latest build (chirp-daily-20141112.app). Copied the files into the .app directory replacing the other files as you specified and tried to launch it. It did not even launch. I unzipped another copy and replaced the one I had modified and tested again to be sure it launched. Copied the files into the new chirp app and tried to launch it again. Again the app would not launch. The window flashes as though it's going to launch, but it never makes the new window.
I took a look at the file permissions. It looked as though they were set to 766 (I could be wrong. I never did quite get that remembered). I ran a chmod on the app and changed it to 777 and tried to launch again. No change.
I ran a command that someone had posted in another post to get the chirp log, but I didn't get one. This was last night now, but I think all the command did was cp the log to your desktop. So I looked in the console to see if there weren't really any log entries there either. Here they are though..

Here we are, sorry for long delay.
I checked once again and I confirm the two py file should work.
Please check the sizes of the downloaded files: they should be mainapp.py (66.8 kB) and clone.py (8.7 kB)
As I wrote in the #1715:

As I wrote in the #1715:
you can't imagine how many time I felt on this my self: I suppose you choose 'save link as' on ft817.py link directly from issue page.
Please instead follow the link, it will take you to a page showing the file content with the right 'download' link.
tnx for collaboration

I did as you said and downloaded the file itself. I must have missed it the first time. Chirp does launch now. I'll try tonight to see if I can upload to a radio.
Thanks!

Now when I go to download from the radio, the buttons where you click 'OK' or 'Cancel' are broken. You can click ok, or cancel all day long and nothing happens. The associated key strokes (esc) works, but not the enter/return key.
I've uploaded a screen shot of the dialog box I'm talking about.

I'm sorry, I must have lost my magical touch ;)
I'll try to find a Mac to prepare a complete package for you to try.

I have tested recently with a Mac, Chirp (installed from brew, updated as of a week ago), and a USB-57A cable from RT Systems and can verify I've had little trouble uploading to the radio. (Sometimes it takes a few attempts.) Maybe this issue can be closed?

Continuing Wednesday's radio programming theme, here's a video on how to program an FT-60 with chirp:
If you didn't take notes of all that, you're in luck because I did. Here they are:
- Connect cable. (Remember, you want the FTDI cable, not the one requiring the crazy drivers you'd have to download from hinkychinesewebsite.com)
- Power the radio on while holding the MONI button – it's the middle button on the LHS, the one with the dot on it.
- You will see a menu. Scroll around with DIAL knob until you find CLONE. (I think it's item #8)
- Press the FW button (bottom RHS of keypad). Screen will flash off, then come back on with the same CLONE display.
- Fire up chirp.
- Now for menus: radio > make&model; port > figure out the USB port; usually it'll have 'usbserial' in the name. It definitely won't be any of the 'bluetooth' ports!
- Press PTT on the radio – hold the PTT button down a few seconds, then quickly hit OK on the pop-up panel in chirp. TX and progress bar will appear as it downloads to computer.
- Save the blank file!!!
- Edit settings in chirp as you see fit. Save to another file.
- Back to the radio, press MONI button; this will switch radio display to RX.
- Back to chirp, radio > upload to radio. Now hit OK; should see progress bar as programming uploads.
- Turn radio off, unplug cable.
- Turn radio on, flip to memory mode (V/M, lower left corner) and test your handiwork.
Finally, your hearing is not going bad; the audio actually does fade at the end of the video.
Whew, glad to have this done. Much thanks to Tony KD8RTT for the video. I didn't have a lot of channels to add to my radio, having previously manually programmed many in, but I did add the recieve-only weather channels (wikipedia reference link). It's a lot of steps to go through, but it is not bad and it all actually seems to work. I'm sure this will come in handy when I want to really swap things up for some future adventure.
Tomorrow: less geekery, more mountain bike action.
ps 2/22/20: If you need to program by hand, there's a great one-pager instruction sheet here: http://k6lcs.com/Docs_files/QP-FT-60R.pdf It's really easy, but it is time consuming if you have more than a few channels to program. Definitely worth it to buy a good cable and use chirp.
