Phil - you can also do the following: lsusb and lsusb -v to see if the cable/device is recognized by your PC. That will let you know if there is a hardware. And while it's not a good idea, you could try running chirp with SUDO elevated privlidges. If that works, neet to go back to the udev rules and/or groups... 73 jim KA3LXM

Phil - Another resource is: https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide_FTDI_OEM_Cables also i'm sure u did this but the rule file from https://iamacat.wordpress.com/2016/09/28/run-chirp-radio-software-on-linux should be on a single line, not 3 lines... 73 -jim KA3LXM

Check whether modules (drivers) are loaded with the command /lsmod/ Is your computer recognizing the cable/? /Check by removing the cable from your computer, put it back and take a look at /dmesg | tail -20/ - hopefully you'll see something like: 4343.736241] usb 5-2: Product: USB-Serial Controller [ 4343.736242] usb 5-2: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc. [ 4344.226552] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 4344.226583] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for generic [ 4344.239417] usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303 [ 4344.239453] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for pl2303 [ 4344.239519] pl2303 5-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected [ 4344.260424] usb 5-2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 HT BTW, I had problems getting Linux Mint running CHIRP to recognize my Wouxon KG-6UV but it was automatically recognized by my Arch Linux laptop, I gave up and just use CHIRP on my laptop.

If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20191205 A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows: Changes for Build #603 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [ftm350] Fix trailing whitespace style issue Fallout from #6639 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [ts590] De-register the TS590 clone mode driver ...which seems to be breaking File->New. This is a band-aid until that can be investigated and resolved. #7409 [Andrew Jorgensen <andrew(a)jorgensenfamily.us>] [frs/gmrs] 2017 rule changes Fixes #5753 This adds the additional FRS channels (15-22) and expands GMRS channels include all frequencies add in the 2017 rule changes. It also adds the GMRS repeater channels with the prescribed +5.0MHz offset (though you'll have to find the correct tones for your local GMRS repeaters). After some feedback on the mailing list, I've chosen to number the channels according to the FRS numbering, rather than try to preserve the obsolete numbering, and I've chosen to name the GMRS repeater channels with both the "550" style numbering that's common in repeater naming and the "15R" name that makes it clear that it's receiving on channel 15. [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Fix Kenwood TK-370 tuning steps Also TK-260, TK-270, TK-272, TK-278, TK-360, TK-372 and TK-378 fixes #7199 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Fix Puxing PX-888K tuning steps fixes #6887 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Fix Yaesu FT-4 valid steps Should also fix FT-25, FT-35 and FT-65. fixes #6807 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Fix Radioddity R2 tuning steps fixes #6743 [Jim Unroe <rock.unroe(a)gmail.com>] Fix Yaesu FTM-350 tuning steps fixes #6639 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [d700] Fix valid_tuning_steps on D700, D7x Fixes #7053 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [d700] Add support for AM channels Fixes #5689 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] [d700] Add settings parity with TH-D7 This refactors the driver code to allow the D700 radio driver to leverage the settings support that is in the D7 driver. Only a few setting support differences between the two radios were handled. Also setting the packet path and callsign seems to be only partially working, or the radio has some very old and outdated restrictions on what can be set. Closes #7407 [Dan Smith <dsmith(a)danplanet.com>] Fix up the kenwood detection logic after recent driver changes While working on #7407 it became clear that the recent HF rig support almost entirely broke talking to the D700 (and probably others). This makes some changes to the ID routines: - Prioritizes the baud scan for the regular delimiter ahead of the HF one, since the vast majority of users will be using the former. The delimiter change substantially increased the ID time for regular radios set to a high baud rate. - Prioritizes fast baud rates over the slow ones in the scan. - Adds a quick recovery to the case where the radio responds at the desired baud rate with "?" meaning "what is all this junk you have been sending me", which fixes the case where the ID fails on the first attempt and succeeds on the second.
