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

My guess is that you need to add your user to the "dialout" group like is shows on the "Running under Linux" wiki page.
