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

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?

Is the volume all the way up? That is recommended, and also, make sure you are on an empty channel. I took the antenna off while programming my Baofeng. HTH.

You seem to be leaving lots out here.
Is this a linux distro, or Mac? Could make a big difference. Linux should work with no problems. Linux is usually group dialout. If Mac, drivers become a problem. You have to find the proper drivers for the cable.
On Windows 10 this is almost always a driver problem. You will most likely have to use an OLD driver. Windows will tend to fight you on this. Largely has to do with counterfeit PL2303 chips.
This can also be caused by a cable that does not properly seat into the radio.

I'm leaving a lot out? It's all in there but perhaps it's difficult to see if you don't carefully read. I didn't give a running explanation because most here can follow what's been done by the terminal history.
I posted this:
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)
That gives you the daily build I'm using, the operating system and python version.
There is no dialout group on my system, I've shown which owner and groups own the USB port I'm using:
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
I've got everything there!
