[chirp_users] Linux User error message

Hello, First time using CHIRP with a brand new Pofung UV82. Every time I try to Download From Radio regardless of which port from drop down menu i choose), I get this type of message : could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0' I am pretty certain I am plugged into the port labeled USB0. I have no idea how to change permission access to the port. Any thoughts? Thanks, Charly

ok, Im not really good with computers. I have a yaseu ft 7800 and a hp laptop with no serial ports. I have a ps2 male to ps2 male cable and a ps2 to usb adapter. I had to run a virtual com port program and then chirp. I followed the on screen directions for my radio. I on the radio it says tx for 2 or 3 seconds and then error. the pc says cloneing, then error occured, unabe to communicate with radio. failed to read header (0) Im thinking its my com port. before i used the virtual port i look under device manager and there is no section + ports. oh yea Im using windows xp sp3 media version. Please help. 73's Ke7azd

Many are just outright returning the radio as a result, assuming it's broken. Since there are a million UV-5R variants and this is likely to get worse, this patch adds a blacklist of similar magic strings from radios that may be confused easily. If we fail to probe the radio that was selected, we can probe for the blacklist magics, and if any reply, raise a specific error to the user indicating that they chose the wrong model. #4539

I’m unable to download the daily build. I don’t get a “run” option, I only get an “open” or “save” option and neither works. Will I pick it up on the next daily build?

[chirp_users] Problems Skipping Channels While Scanning
by Lane Scott 16 Feb '17

I select "S" in chirp, but my Yaesu FT-7900 does not skip the channels so selected during scanning. What am I doing wrong? Everything else seems to work as expected.

[chirp_users] GMRS Brodcasting
by Donie Allen 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

I would like to use my Boafeng UV-5RA at work. We use the frequency. I can receive transmissions but I cannot transmit. I imported the GMRS frequencies from the Import from stock config menu item in CHIRP, and did not make Any changes to them. Any ideas on what setting I need to change?

Baofengs are not Part 95, most are not even Part 90 legal. The Boafengs MUST be used with a license of some sort, Part 97 Amateur or Part 90 Public Safety or business use.
