Check to make sure you've got the right TTY device, mine wasn't /dev/ttyUSB0, it was something else... Also, make sure you're in the dialout user group, otherwise you probably won't have the rights to use the device (use "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*" to be sure).

I see others are able to us Chirp with the UV-5RA but I cannot and I can only guess why.
I also have the UV-3R and I have no problem with it. When I select which radio to program the listing for UV-5 is all there is for the UV-5
series. I
have the proper programming cable, turn the radio on, then try to
download
from the radio, and it tries but times out and I am told the radio is not responding.
I am running Chirp under Ubuntu and I keep everything updated, including ‘daily-build’ for Chirp. One thing bothers me though; when I look at the “about” and check the revision level of Chirp, it shows 20130802
(8/2/2013)
yet when I try to update, it says I have the latest version. I am not
sure
about that one.
Anyhow, the bottom line is my Chirp works great with the UV-3R but not
with
the UV-5RA, using the proper programming cables of course. Same computer, same software, different programming cables.
Any clue to what is wrong with my set-up?
