Hi Graham,

I use Linux Mint here as well.

You didn't say what version of CHIRP you installed. If you installed
CHIRP using the Software Manager the CHIRP version that was installed
would be over 3 years old. You must un-install this very old version
of CHIRP completely.

The correct way to install CHIRP to run under Ubuntu (and derivatives
like Mint) would be to add the CHIRP PPA and then install CHIRP as
shown on the "Running CHIRP Under Linux" wiki page.

https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Running_Under_Linux

To get serial port permissions you must add your user to the "dialout"
group using the "Users and Groups" app or via command line as shown in
the "serial port permissions" section of the "Running CHIRP Under
Linux" page (preferred) or running CHIRP as root using "sudo chirpw"
in terminal.

Don't forget to log out and back in for the new group permissions to
take effect.
