Dale,

FWIW, and hopefully you didn't buy the expensive Kenwood cable yet, I use this cheap cable with Chirp and my TM-V71A:

Also, as for that modem-manager process, it could be something udev spawns.  I recently switched from Ubuntu to Debian on all of my machines, otherwise I'd try to do a little more digging for you.

Well thank you for the assistance in debugging. The V71A, remote install kit,
and programming cable were all purchased at the same time from Ham Radio
Outlet (HRO) in the Portland, Oregon area.

I made the incorrect assumption that this bundle of parts were all going to
work together. It now seems that HRO sold me the incorrect cable. They confirmed
this in my phone call with them just now.

Sorry about starting out by blaming the software rather than the hardware. :-)

I will give another try with the correct cable and I suspect see better results.

Thanks & 73, Dale, K7FW
