Hello,

First time using CHIRP with a brand new Pofung UV82.

Every time I try to Download From Radio regardless of which port from drop down menu i choose), I get this type of message :

could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0'

I am pretty certain I am plugged into the port labeled USB0.

I have no idea how to change permission access to the port.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Charly

My guess is that you need to add your user to the "dialout" group like is shows on the "Running under Linux" wiki page.

You are probably using the patch cord that came with the radio. If so then the driver that the computer has is newer than the driver that that cords recognizes. I finally paid for the cord that works every time. It is the "genuine" cord and cost about $20. on Amazon. It is plug and play, no drivers to worry about. The counterfeit cord that comes with the radio is a knock off that is nothing but trouble. It is worth the money to buy the $20 cord.

Most of the time it is a driver issue with  the programming cable. At least with the windows machine it can be an issue. I am sure someone will chime in with a "how to" remedy the situation for you. Good luck
