I am running chirp-next the june 3rd version on ubuntu 22.04. I am a member of the dialout group. I cannot connect to my FT-65 unless I run chirp with sudo, so I have some type of permissions issue.

Is there another group I need to add myself to?

I would do a `ls -l` on the specific serial device your FT-65 enumerates as. It might not be `dialout`, but some other group name, `uucp` maybe?

As a temporary work-around, you could try running `sudo chmod 0666 ${device}` before running `chirpw` or `chirpc` and see if that allows you to run the tool as a plain user.

If that command "fixes it", then the permanent fix is to configure `udev` to recognise it, and assign correct ownership/permissions.
