Took me a bit as I have never run into a permissions issue. Would someone like to add the sudo command to the Linux Wiki? I did not see anything there. Using n0cl as an example username.
sudo adduser n0cl dialout [sudo] password for user: Adding user n0cl to group dialout Done.
<< Restart done here to ensure new group picked up >>
pax> id -Gn pax dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev bluetooth scanner

Still having issues writing to the FT-60 after a good read. I'll buy a USB cable soon and try this once more. Any steps I'm missing please let me know. The cable checks good on a meter and if it reads the radio it should write in theory. Doing the same thing now in Windows and Xubuntu. I will say the Linux version does not yell out an error it just does not work.
