Still learning how to reply to reply: sorry about duplicates! OK, Jim, I tried 'em all, (duh) but the /dev/ttyUSB0 makes the most sense. Now logged in as superuser holmzie#. Gotta go to Harbor Fright to return a sander, be bk in an hour. Guess I need the proper syntax for the dialout command thing.
THANKS FOLKS!! holmzie N2EXG

Hi Pete,
You are choosing the wrong port. Assuming that your user has been added to the 'dialout' group, scroll all the way down and choose "/dev/ttyUSB0".
