CE49/VX6000 Help

[HKChad]

I recently purchased a Programming Cable from theantennafarm for a VX6000 and it came with CE49. I am unable to get the PC to read from the Radio. The USB Cable is installed on COM3, which is set to 9600-8-N-1 and I selected VX6000 from the Hardware menu and made sure COM3 was selected in Configure (its the only com port). I have the Motorcycle remote head unit and made that selection as well in Hardware. I put the radio in PC CLONE mode but the software just keeps saying MPU does not respond to the clone commend. I have tried 2 different computers (both Win7 x64).

Any ideas?

Thanks

So I'm starting to think I have the wrong cable. This is what I was sent,

Anyone else w/ this radio/programming cable can you post a pic of yours?

thanks,
Chad

The USB part is correct but the rest isn't It should look like this KAWAMALL USB Ribless Programming Cable for Vertex VX 4000 VX 6000 VX5500 Radios | eBay The other end goes into a port on the RF box

I highly recommend using following:
VX-4000, VX-5500, VX-6000 ALIGN CT-88 VSTD# AAC54X001
VX-4000, VX-5500, VX-6000 FIRMWARE CT-71 VSTD# AAA24X001
VX-4000, VX-5500, VX-6000 CLONE CT-72 VSTD# AAA26X001
VPL-1 Cable VSTD# A06420002
FIF-8 Interface Box VSTD# AAC46X001
Comm port cable

CT-72 and VPL-1 is needed for cloning

According to the Vertex VX-6000 users manual, here's the programming cabling you can use. If the
programming cable connects up to the mike socket you got sent the wrong cable. The cable you
got looks like one for portables not mobiles.

CT-70 Radio Programming Cable (Requires VPL-1)
CT-71 Radio to PC Programming Cable
CT-72 Radio to Radio Programming Cable

Yes, the VX-800 cable works with the VX-4000, 5500, & 6000. But if you are able to get a CT-70 cable VSTD#AAA24X001, but one of these cables CT-70,71, or 72 are not available.
