[chirp_users] Oh Happy Day !!!!
Finally got the Ubuntu mini.iso to d/l without error, got a FULL INSTALL of Ubuntu v16.04 on a USB Thumb, got Dans ppa set in the repository, and got 'chirp-daily' to d/l and install..... (thanks to the wifi at Buddha Thai Kitchen in Middletown - best Thai food in the area)
Yippee !!!!!
Looks like my radios shall finally get programmed... Checked the BTech UV-5X3, the UV-82HP, and have spent the remainder of the afternoon researching freqs and programming the Leixen VV-898S...
Need to order the cable for the VX-8DR (Yaesu), and the UV-50x3 (BTech) in the truck, but I see those in the list in Chirp, so I'm very hopeful at this point...
Perhaps it's time for good things to start happening here... FINALLY !!!
Thanks for putting up with my rants over the last year+... Thanks to all that offered input. And those that silently prayed.

Bruce.
Whatever you do, and I'm sure you've seen this on the CHIRP website as well as discussed in this forum, make sure you spend a little extra and get a cable from a reputable source that has an FTDI chipset. You will be much happier and not suffer from the Chinese knock off problem with the other chipsets.
73 and enjoy!

I don't understand what the problem is with using a cable with fake Prolific chips. If you know what to look for and what to do when you see it, it is not a big deal. I have several radios (20+), most of the cables have fake chips in them. It takes less than a minute to roll back the driver when needed. Nice thing is, you do it for one cable, it works for all. Nothing to be afraid of, and certainly no reason to spend a bunch of money on new cables, building your own cable, or buying RT Systems stuff when you don't have to.

He's running Ubuntu and it recognizes all the available cables but the user may have be added to the DIALOUT user group
