Is the volume all the way up? That is recommended, and also, make sure you are on an empty channel. I took the antenna off while programming my Baofeng. HTH.

Hi guys,
A friend has a new Wouxun KG-UV8E.
Someone said it would work with the Wouxun KG-UV8D selection of the daily build of CHIRP.
dmesg tail reveals that the Wouxun programmiing cable is using /dev/tty/USB0 which is owned by root and group uucp.
So I added uucp to my user's groups.
ls /dev/ttyUSB0 -l crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Aug 19 14:09 /dev/ttyUSB0
[djringjr@laptop ~]$ groups sys adm wheel uucp audio users
Daily Build - chirpw --version CHIRP daily-20160802 on Linux laptop 4.7.0-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 8 22:24:23 CEST 2016 i686 (Python 2.7.12)
Here's what happens.
[djringjr@laptop ~]$ chirpw
(process:2492): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I tried the same cable and radio on Windows 10 using the CHIRP latest daily build
Same error - could not communicate with radio.
Using the Wouxun software with correct driver on Win10, same error.
Any suggestions?
