Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.

Hi John,
Might the tuned frequency be receiving traffic while you are connected?
If so, make sure it's on a quiet channel.
HTH.

Subject: [chirp_users] Can't connect to BTECH UV-25X2-Gen2

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:

joliver@blinky:~$ ./.local/bin/chirp
02:52:04 PM: Debug: Unrecognized accel key 'backspace', accel string ignored.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
