I have a Baofeng DR1801
Using Chirp on Windows I can read/write to the radio

Using Kubuntu  22.10, running:  python3 -mchirp.wxui  I get an error message:

WARNING: Unable to select ''
ERROR: uv5r._ident_radio: Radio did not respond

   raise errors.RadioError("Radio did not respond")

dmesg confirms the cable is connected to ttyUSB0.

Is this a permissions problem?

I have tried:   
$ sudo usermod -a -G $(stat -c %G /dev/ttyUSB0) $USER

What else can I do?
