I little trick I learned from experience:

Ubuntu has a deamon for handling modems, if you try to plug your USB cable and read/write to the radio at the same moment you usually get an error because the modem daemon is testing it to know if that USB-serial is a modem...

If you use Ubuntu or any of his favors just plug your USB without the radio connected and wait 10 to 30 seconds before connecting your radio an try to read/write to it, in this way the modem daemon got plenty of time to test it and discard it as a modem and let it free for you.

Cheers

I have a machine running Ubuntu Mate. When I connect and turn on my Baofeng UV-5R radio it will transmit and will not let me use Chirp. I also have a Windows 7 computer that does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
