I am using a Yaesu FT-60R and a Yaesu FT-857D.
My CT-57A cable works OK under M/S Windows with both CHIRP and RT Software.
Windows Vista Device Manager shows my cable as "CT-57A Radio Cable"
My cable is produced by RT Systems,
which calls it the "USB-57A Programming Cable"
Both Windows XP & Windows Vista Device Managers show it as "CT-57A Radio Cable"
The Driver File Detail shows:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ftser2k.sys
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\serenum.sys
C:\Windows\system32\ftserui2.dll
================================================================================
HOWEVER:
The cable is not seen by CHIRP booted from the Live CD burnt from
the download on 2012-12-27
Nor is it seen by Kubuntu 8.04.1 (Hardy Heron, kernel 2.6.24-19).
Yes, I know - Hardy is somewhat archaic, but it does all I need [except that I
cannot do 'sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-hams-updates/ppa' <grin>].
================================================================================
Doing a 'sudo lsusb -v' yields, among other stuff, this relevant info:

================================================================================
CHIRP, on the Live CD, when attempting to Download Radio, shows the following:
An error has occurred
could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 2]
No such file or directory:'/dev/ttyUSB0'
I tried everything else I could think of, even ttyS0 thru ttyS31
There are no ttyUSBx devices or files listed under /dev,
there are only usbmon0, usbmon1, & usbmon2.
================================================================================
I'm stumped.
Other than trying a different cable, any ideas ? ? ?
