SOLVED!
From the Ubuntu Forums it was suggested that I delete the current copy of CHIRP and then install the Daily Update.
This worked perfectly. I hope this thread helps others out, too.
Thank you to everyone.
David

I followed these steps, too:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dansmith/chirp-snapshots sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chirp-daily
When I entered the third command line, I received this feedback:

Angus,
I have tried to get the USB to become active.
- I have updated to the latest CHIRP.
- I read near the bottom of the CHIRP installation page the instructions for activating the USB ports.
- I have the latest python.
Here is the output:
apt-cache policy python-serial python-serial: Installed: 3.0.1-1 Candidate: 3.0.1-1 Version table: *** 3.0.1-1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Thank you for your help.
David

Please reply all when asking questions in the list
That looks correct as well but chirp had an issue with pySerial v3

So it looks like you need to update chirp
