_______________________________________________Years ago, I bought a 5 dollar cable to program my Baofeng. It didn't work. I was informed many cloned FTDI cables don't work.
I bought the Baofeng cable, about $20 at the time. Always works.

I could not connect to the radio. Now I've tried on another laptop running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Still no dice. The "Help me" under port says "Your cable appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"
Maybe the cable is bad?

Rich,
How are COM Ports tested in Linux? I know in Windows, Device Manager can be used.
Thanks,David

I get "Error reading data from radio" I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG It is plugged in all the way!
I cannot find a debug.log There is no option for one in my CHIRP (CHIRP next-20230712 on Python 3.8.10 wxPython 4.0.7 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.0.4) And none is created in ~/.chirp While CHIRP is still running:
joliver@blinky:~$ ls .chirp/
chirp.config stock_configs
In the terminal I launched CHIRP:
