Well, I made a little progress with the USB problem, in Ubuntu. I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download from radio, and first it did nothing. So I tried again, and I got the same error: error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0 No such file or directory. And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed. Just like on my other computer that had the same issue. So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1. So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1 So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure. So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn K0LNY" glennervin@cableone.net To: "Discussion of CHIRP" chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com Sent: Friday, May 22, 2020 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] No USB Port Error

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

...

From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have

permission to access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your Linus user to the dialout group.

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

Well this cable was advertised to work with Kenwood, but it doesn't. I tried one of the supplied cables and it worked okay with my Baofeng. And then again none of the cables worked on the Kenwood. Looks like I need to get another cable, and Chirp isn't the problem.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

I found this on the Chirp site, which indicates that the Kenwood TH-F6 requires the two prong plug, which is the one I used, and it further states that the cord for the Baofeng should work on the Kenwood TH-F6, at least in Linux. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide Kenwood Radios TH-F6A, TH-K2A

These radios use a two-pronged cable that plugs into the microphone and speaker jacks simultaneously. Note: many Chinese radios such as the Wouxun, and Baofeng UV-5R use the same two prong cable as these Kenwoods.

Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have

permission to access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your Linus user to the dialout group.

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

chmod is not just "useful for some things" - it is necessary here, because the /dev/ttyUSBn device is not readable or writable until you issue this command. If you didn't do it, and you did not say you did, your /dev/ttyUSB1 is not readable or writable by CHIRP, and CHIRP will continue to throw errors when you try to read from or write to the radio! Honestly!

Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

Well, I made a little progress with the USB problem, in Ubuntu. I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download from radio, and first it did nothing. So I tried again, and I got the same error: error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0 No such file or directory. And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed. Just like on my other computer that had the same issue. So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1. So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1 So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure. So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen. Any ideas?

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

But I did it, and had no errors running it, it just didn't make any difference, it didn't hurt I'm sure, but it didn't help either. It downloads fine with the Baofeng using USB1 in Chirp, and lsusb indicates that the cable is using USB1, and that is what I did the chmod 777 on. I got an error with USB0. Also, I put in a brand new and fully charged battery and it still does not work. So either some cables don't work for both Kenwood and Baofeng, or there is something wrong with my Kenwood. Glenn

chmod is not just "useful for some things" - it is necessary here, because the /dev/ttyUSBn device is not readable or writable until you issue this command. If you didn't do it, and you did not say you did, your /dev/ttyUSB1 is not readable or writable by CHIRP, and CHIRP will continue to throw errors when you try to read from or write to the radio! Honestly!

    This cable works on my Baofeng 8HP, and it is supposed to work for both Kenwood and Baofeng.
    I hope it isn't a problem with the radio, I just got it used.
    I set it to the defaults, but I haven't found any documentation indicating that there needs to be a setting made on the Kenwood to work with a programming cable.
    I made sure that there was nothing on the channel when I connected the cable.

                    No such file or directory.
                    And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.
                    Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.
                    So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy
                    suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.
                    So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1
                    So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.
                    So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the
                    radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.
                    Any ideas?

                    Thanks in advance.

                    Jim,
                    I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that
                    ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.
                    So there is a problem with it finding usb0.
                    Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial
                    assignment?
                    I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has
                    always been recognized.
                    Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a
                    digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something
                    different to the cable.
                    I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded
                    for the Kenwood.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

Group,

Has Glenn K0LNY given us the output of:

ls -l /dev/USB1

I cannot find it, it would solve a lot of problems.

Also by off group email I have asked him for the output of:

udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/ttyUSB1)

Glenn send that to the group as well,

I wouldn't say I did it unless I did. I have never had to use that command for using the Baofeng, or any of my Baofents. But I did it, and had no errors running it, it just didn't make any difference, it didn't hurt I'm sure, but it didn't help either. It downloads fine with the Baofeng using USB1 in Chirp, and lsusb indicates that the cable is using USB1, and that is what I did the chmod 777 on. I got an error with USB0. Also, I put in a brand new and fully charged battery and it still does not work. So either some cables don't work for both Kenwood and Baofeng, or there is something wrong with my Kenwood. Glenn

chmod is not just "useful for some things" - it is necessary here, because the /dev/ttyUSBn device is not readable or writable until you issue this command. If you didn't do it, and you did not say you did, your /dev/ttyUSB1 is not readable or writable by CHIRP, and CHIRP will continue to throw errors when you try to read from or write to the radio! Honestly!

I think that chmod 777 is a useful command for certain problems, but apparently not this one. This cable works on my Baofeng 8HP, and it is supposed to work for both Kenwood and Baofeng. I hope it isn't a problem with the radio, I just got it used. I set it to the defaults, but I haven't found any documentation indicating that there needs to be a setting made on the Kenwood to work with a programming cable. I made sure that there was nothing on the channel when I connected the cable.

So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

I found this on the Chirp site, which indicates that the Kenwood TH-F6 requires the two prong plug, which is the one I used, and it further states that the cord for the Baofeng should work on the Kenwood TH-F6, at least in Linux. https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/CableGuide Kenwood Radios TH-F6A, TH-K2A

These radios use a two-pronged cable that plugs into the microphone and speaker jacks simultaneously. Note: many Chinese radios such as the Wouxun, and Baofeng UV-5R use the same two prong cable as these Kenwoods.

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

Hi Glenn,

...
From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have

chmod is not just "useful for some things" - it is necessary here, because the /dev/ttyUSBn device is not readable or writable until you issue this command. If you didn't do it, and you did not say you did, your /dev/ttyUSB1 is not readable or writable by CHIRP, and CHIRP will continue to throw errors when you try to read from or write to the radio!

So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

I have used this cable and that Ubuntu with Chirp in the past for my other radios, and other than different brands of radios, I have always been able to do this. I know a guy who has done this to this model using the Baofeng cable using a different software in Windows, not the Kenwood software, but one that they purchased. I don't recall the name, but I think it starts with an R. At any rate, I'd sooner buy a Kenwood cable than that other software and keep using Chirp. Hopefully I didn't get it mixed up with the Radioddity cable. I thought I had the right cable with the Radioddity when I sent it off. I don't know if they put the name of the associated radio on the cables, since I'm Blind. But any who, would this be an error for the wrong cable? Thanks. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

Glenn Looking at your problem from a repair technicians viewpoint, you have proven that your computer and cable are not at fault by testing with the baofeng radio. The only part left is the Kenwood.

So what might be the problem? I suspect either the cable is not fitting correctly or a fault in the radios sockets. There have been reports of baofeng radios having a poorly moulded case which restricts the cable from entering far enough to make a proper connection or maybe you are pushing it too far creating the same problem. There is also the potential problem of a faulty socket on the radio. Your eyesight problem may require you to seek help in solving this. If another ham is not close, maybe a computer geek can help you.

Good luck Fred VA6FRM

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will

be

...
...
...
...
...
root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command

"groups."

...
...
...
...
...
In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups?

If

...
...
...
...
...
not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

It downloads fine with the Baofeng using USB1 in Chirp, and lsusb indicates that the cable is using USB1, and that is what I did the chmod 777 on. I got an error with USB0. Also, I put in a brand new and fully charged battery and it still does not work. So either some cables don't work for both Kenwood and Baofeng, or there is something wrong with my Kenwood. Glenn

chmod is not just "useful for some things" - it is necessary here, because the /dev/ttyUSBn device is not readable or writable until you issue this command. If you didn't do it, and you did not say you did, your /dev/ttyUSB1 is not readable or writable by CHIRP, and CHIRP will continue to throw errors when you try to read from or write to the radio! Honestly!

So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux? In windows, I have a lot of them. But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows. I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like. But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working. This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios. One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio. The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack. I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack. Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one? The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work. Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

Glenn Looking at your problem from a repair technicians viewpoint, you have proven that your computer and cable are not at fault by testing with the baofeng radio. The only part left is the Kenwood.

So what might be the problem? I suspect either the cable is not fitting correctly or a fault in the radios sockets. There have been reports of baofeng radios having a poorly moulded case which restricts the cable from entering far enough to make a proper connection or maybe you are pushing it too far creating the same problem. There is also the potential problem of a faulty socket on the radio. Your eyesight problem may require you to seek help in solving this. If another ham is not close, maybe a computer geek can help you.

Good luck Fred VA6FRM

So why have I never needed to change permissions on tty ports? I'm not logged in as root.

Honestly!

    This cable works on my Baofeng 8HP, and it is supposed to work for both Kenwood and Baofeng.
    I hope it isn't a problem with the radio, I just got it used.
    I set it to the defaults, but I haven't found any documentation indicating that there needs to be a setting made on the Kenwood to work with a programming cable.
    I made sure that there was nothing on the channel when I connected the cable.

    So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is  always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

        On the computer that I got the lsusb info from, the cable is using /dev/ttyUSB1
        I did as you suggested using 1 instead of 0 and it accepted the command, but in my case, it did not help.
        Thanks though.

        Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

            How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux?
            In windows, I have a lot of them.
            But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows.
            I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like.
            But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working.
            This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios.
            One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio.
            The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack.
            I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack.
            Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one?
            The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work.
            Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

            A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

                I tried one of the supplied cables and it worked okay with my Baofeng.
                And then again none of the cables worked on the Kenwood.
                Looks like I need to get another cable, and Chirp isn't the problem.

                Glen,

                With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

                lsusb 

                Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

                Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is  NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

                Let's assume you made an error and the device is  ttyUSB1.

                In terminal:
                ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

                Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

                You need to be in the same group to access it.

                Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

                In terminal enter:

                groups

                Is the group that  ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

                Best wishes,

                David

                    I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I
                    installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download
                    from radio, and first it did nothing.
                    So I tried again, and I got the same error:
                    error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0
                    No such file or directory.
                    And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.
                    Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.
                    So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy
                    suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.
                    So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1
                    So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.
                    So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the
                    radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.
                    Any ideas?

                    Thanks in advance.

                    Jim,
                    I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that
                    ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.
                    So there is a problem with it finding usb0.
                    Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial
                    assignment?
                    I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has
                    always been recognized.
                    Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a
                    digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something
                    different to the cable.
                    I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded
                    for the Kenwood.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

I've never changed permissions on a tty port. Think that's a red herring. Ports are assigned USB0, USB1 etc in the order they are plugged in. Doesn't matter which socket it's connected to. If you are getting /dev/ttyUSB1 then you already have something connected that is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0.

So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is  always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

    On the computer that I got the lsusb info from, the cable is using /dev/ttyUSB1
    I did as you suggested using 1 instead of 0 and it accepted the command, but in my case, it did not help.
    Thanks though.

    Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

        These radios use a two-pronged cable that plugs into the microphone and speaker jacks simultaneously. Note: many Chinese radios such as the Wouxun, and

        How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux?
        In windows, I have a lot of them.
        But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows.
        I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like.
        But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working.
        This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios.
        One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio.
        The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack.
        I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack.
        Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one?
        The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work.
        Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

        A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

            I tried one of the supplied cables and it worked okay with my Baofeng.
            And then again none of the cables worked on the Kenwood.
            Looks like I need to get another cable, and Chirp isn't the problem.

            Glen,

            With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

            lsusb 

            Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

            Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is  NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

            Let's assume you made an error and the device is  ttyUSB1.

            In terminal:
            ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

            Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

            You need to be in the same group to access it.

            Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

            In terminal enter:

            groups

            Is the group that  ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

            Best wishes,

            David

                I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I
                installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download
                from radio, and first it did nothing.
                So I tried again, and I got the same error:
                error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0
                No such file or directory.
                And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.
                Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.
                So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy
                suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.
                So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1
                So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.
                So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the
                radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.
                Any ideas?

                Thanks in advance.

                Jim,
                I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that
                ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.
                So there is a problem with it finding usb0.
                Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial
                assignment?
                I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has
                always been recognized.
                Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a
                digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something
                different to the cable.
                I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded
                for the Kenwood.

A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

Hi Glenn,

>From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have permission to access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your Linus user to the dialout group.

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

Looks as though your radio might be faulty. Lend it to someone else to try.

I've never changed permissions on a tty port. Think that's a red herring.
Ports are assigned USB0, USB1 etc in the order they are plugged in. Doesn't matter which socket it's connected to. If you are getting /dev/ttyUSB1 then you already have something connected that is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0.

    So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is  always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo. If you did that, I am very surprised that did not work for you!

        On the computer that I got the lsusb info from, the cable is using /dev/ttyUSB1
        I did as you suggested using 1 instead of 0 and it accepted the command, but in my case, it did not help.
        Thanks though.

        Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use chmod to make the device readable and writable.

            How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux?
            In windows, I have a lot of them.
            But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows.
            I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like.
            But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working.
            This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios.
            One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio.
            The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack.
            I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack.
            Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one?
            The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work.
            Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

                I tried one of the supplied cables and it worked okay with my Baofeng.
                And then again none of the cables worked on the Kenwood.
                Looks like I need to get another cable, and Chirp isn't the problem.

                    I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I
                    installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download
                    from radio, and first it did nothing.
                    So I tried again, and I got the same error:
                    error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0
                    No such file or directory.
                    And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.
                    Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.
                    So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy
                    suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.
                    So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1
                    So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.
                    So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the
                    radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.
                    Any ideas?

                    Thanks in advance.

                    Jim,
                    I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that
                    ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.
                    So there is a problem with it finding usb0.
                    Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial
                    assignment?
                    I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has
                    always been recognized.
                    Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a
                    digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something
                    different to the cable.
                    I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded
                    for the Kenwood.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

You automatically get a virtual com port when you plug in your USB/serial adaptor. It should come up as /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 etc. Not sure how you get the com1: designator but Chirp doesn't need that.

How does one go about doing virtual com ports in Linux?
In windows, I have a lot of them.
But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would not want to try and figure this out in Windows.
I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the like.
But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is working.
This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone plug and a variety of different cords for different radios.
One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips and that fits neither radio.
The other tips only have one plug a couple of which are too small to fit in the bigger jack.
I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the smaller of the Kenwood jack.
Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the important one?
The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and see if they work.
Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6 with only one plug?

A lot of Kenwood need to have “virtual comm ports” installed. You might want to check the Kenwood web site to see if that is the case here.

    I tried one of the supplied cables and it worked okay with my Baofeng.
    And then again none of the cables worked on the Kenwood.
    Looks like I need to get another cable, and Chirp isn't the problem.

    Glen,

    With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

    lsusb 

    Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

    Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is  NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

    Let's assume you made an error and the device is  ttyUSB1.

    In terminal:
    ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

    Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

    You need to be in the same group to access it.

    Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

    In terminal enter:

    groups

    Is the group that  ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

    Best wishes,

    David

        I installed a new live Ubuntu, on a thumb drive for a friend, and I
        installed Chirp for him, and plugged in my Kenwood and tried to download
        from radio, and first it did nothing.
        So I tried again, and I got the same error:
        error no 2 cannot find ttyUSB0
        No such file or directory.
        And this was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.43 with updates installed.
        Just like on my other computer that had the same issue.
        So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy
        suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1.
        So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1
        So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure.
        So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the
        radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen.
        Any ideas?

        Thanks in advance.

        Jim,
        I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that
        ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout.
        So there is a problem with it finding usb0.
        Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial
        assignment?
        I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has
        always been recognized.
        Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a
        digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something
        different to the cable.
        I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded
        for the Kenwood.

I use an RT Systems dual-plug cable with chirp to program my TH-F6; no virtual port needed, but this is under windoze 7. The place I ran across that virtual port is with a TS-590S; it creates a com port via the USB connection. That radio also has the usual DB-8 serial connector that talks at the same time as the USB version; I'm not currently using it, since vxpe "splits" the USB virtual port to talk to logger, fldigi, wsjt-x in any combination without juggling what brain cells this old ham has left.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

In your message you said:

"he found the device in his case, on USB1."

That's not a complete location, give the complete path.

We have to guess what you mean which is unsatisfactory when it comes to computers which are always exactly literal.

Since you're taking about a tty device it's probably ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1 but next time you reboot it might go back to ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 which is the usual assignment but your computer will go to ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1 if it still thinks ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 is being used (occupied).

Glen,

With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:

lsusb

Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1 ?

Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT /dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.

Let's assume you made an error and the device is ttyUSB1.

In terminal: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1

Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be root.

You need to be in the same group to access it.

Find out what groups your user account is in by the command "groups."

In terminal enter:

groups

Is the group that ttyUSB1 belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to that group using the root account.

Best wishes,

David N1EA

Just like on my other computer that had the same issue. So in doing a web search on the problem, I found a YouTube where the guy suggested using lsusb and he found the device in his case, on USB1. So I went to terminal and found the prolific on USB1 So then I found that in Chirp, it wasn't there before, I am fairly sure. So now I no longer get that error, but it still does not download from the radio, it just goes to the blank Chirp screen. Any ideas?

Jim, I just checked to add ubuntu-mate to the dialout and it tells me that ubuntu-mate is already a member of dialout. So there is a problem with it finding usb0. Could it be that a different radio's cable might be using a serial assignment? I've used the Tytera cable via USB and Baofeng's cable via USB and it has always been recognized. Note, the cable I'm stuck with for now is a USB cable that should go with a digital radio, the Radioddity GD77-S, so I don't know if it has something different to the cable. I accidentally sent the Baofeng cable along with the GD77-S that I traded for the Kenwood. Glenn

Hi Glenn,

...
From what you are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have

permission to access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your Linus user to the dialout group.

I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.

In your message you said:

"he found the device in his case, on USB1."

That's not a complete location, give the complete path.

We have to guess what you mean which is unsatisfactory when it comes to computers which are always exactly literal.

New subject: [chirp_users] Fw: No USB Port Error

Try this, AFTER the programming cable is plugged in. The reason is that the chip is IN the programming cable , and the dev/tty(whatever) USB device does not EXIST until the system finds the chip in the cable.

On my Ubuntu (16.04LTS), it does not matter if it is an FTDI or a fake Prolific chip in the cable, they all work. First, find out what ttyUSB device now shows up in /dev with this command in the terminal:

ls /dev/tty*

For me, this results is:

/dev/ttyUSB0

Now the critical part, if I don't do this CHIRP will find the device but throw and error when I try to read from or write to the radio :

sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 (that is a zero on the end).

This makes the device readable and writable. CHIRP will now find this device and you will be able to read from and write to the radio. I have to do this every time I use CHIRP, even though I am a member of the dialout group.

I have been using CHIRP in Ubuntu Linux for years, and this is what WORKS.
