Hi,

Try setting the specisfic user(s) to the uupc group (and don't forget to logout and then in again before using chirp). Also check that the cable is tightly in the socket on the radio.

Hi guys,

A friend has a new Wouxun KG-UV8E.

Someone said it would work with the Wouxun KG-UV8D selection of the daily build of CHIRP.

dmesg tail reveals that the Wouxun programmiing cable is using /dev/tty/USB0 which is owned by root and group uucp. So I added uucp to my user's groups.

ls /dev/ttyUSB0 -l crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 Aug 19 14:09 /dev/ttyUSB0

[djringjr@laptop ~]$ groups sys adm wheel uucp audio users

Daily Build - chirpw --version CHIRP daily-20160802 on Linux laptop 4.7.0-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 8 22:24:23 CEST 2016 i686 (Python 2.7.12)

Here's what happens.

[djringjr@laptop ~]$ chirpw

I tried the same cable and radio on Windows 10 using the CHIRP latest daily build

Same error - could not communicate with radio.

Using the Wouxun software with correct driver on Win10, same error.

Any suggestions?
