[chirp_users] No USB Port Error
Hi, I just got a new used radio, a Kenwood TH-F6. So I plugged in the radio using a non-Kenwood cable and I went into "radio" and download from radio and selected my radio model and USB0 and I get the message: error no 2 cannot open tty/usb0 error cannot locate tty/USB0. or something similar. 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,
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.
Jim KC9HI
I wondered about that, but I have used this computer and this Chirp program to program other radios, but do you suppose the dialout thing needs to be run with a different cable? This is a live instance of Ubuntu and I already added Ubuntu as the user in dialout I am sure, because the CSV files for my other radios are there as well. That is what has me puzzled.

Adding your user to dialout group only takes effect after you log out and log back in which is not practical for a live environment IIRC.
You can use something like the following for live environments:
sudo -g dialout chirpw
This gives the dialout group permission to chirpw program while running as the current user. But I don't see any advantage to doing that over plain "sudo chirpw" (what Jim recommended) unless you get X11/Wayland/Mir errors.

Hi Tony, I should have mentioned, that this is a live version of Ubuntu on a USB drive with a persistence file, so it should save settings between uses.

Hi Glenn,
I always forget about persistence partitions on live USB drives! You can disregard most of what I said since it is probably not applicable ;)

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 don't know if it's true of the Radioddity cable, but the GD-77 is a DMR radio. The other DMR radios I'm familiar with, my AT '878 principally, have the USB chip inside the radio, not in a lump in the cable. If your GD-77 cable doesn't have a fairly large over mold at one end or the other, I'd suspect you have a straight-through cable and a radio that expects the USB-serial chip to be in the cable.
