[chirp_users] Download From Radio under Ubuntu 20.04 error
Hello,
Total noob, here. Taking my exams on Thursday. Got my TIDRADIO UV-5R and the FTDI cable. How can I detect which /dev/tty is being used for the FTDI connection to my radio? I tried /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyUSB0 which resulted in the error 'Radio did not respond'.
Kindly, Robert . .. ... ‘...^,^
Hi Robert, In Linux, you want to use USB 0 at the end of the list. In windows, you can simply unplug and replug the cable with device manager to see which com port disappears or reappears. Otherwise, it may not be pushed tightly enough into the radio.

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for the quick reply! I tried /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux: connection seated, radio on max volume, tuned to 162.600 no traffic, TIDRADIO :: TD-UV5R TriPower, but it still fails. I did not get 2 other errors I have seen with an empty port (could not open port) or a different model (TD-H6 :: Radio did not respond to clone request). Under linux I am guessing the TD-UV5R TriPower is the right setting. However, /dev/ttyUSB0 is still not working.
Kindly, Robert . .. ... ‘...^,^

Usually /dev/ttyUSB0 unless you already have another serial device already plugged in to a USB port. Go to file manager and look in /dev/ and see what appears and disappears when you plun in and unplug the cable.

Hi Robert,
You might want to check to make sure your user has proper permissions.
In linux, typically the groups you might need for this kind of operation include `dialout`, `usb`, and while you're at it you might as well include `plugdev`.
The command to add your user to a group might be `sudo gpasswd -a <user> group`.
Once thats finished you might need to refresh your profile. Either try opening CHIRP in a new terminal, or log out and log back in. ------------------------------------------- Matthew Poletiek 303.810.9082 matthew.poletiek@gmail.com www.matthewpoletiek.com

Go to file manager and look in /dev/ and see what appears and disappears when you plun in and unplug the cable.

Hi Robert,
I see Linux sees the device just fine, and you should be in the right groups. I'd add the 'usb' group just in case as well.
If that doesn't work then maybe the output of CHIRP run in the command line might hint at whats going wrong.
Also, how did you install this? You might be missing some Python 2 dependencies. Personally I use Gentoo and they ditched Python 2 a while back and we lost CHIRP due to lack of Python 3 support so I forked and use this version instead: https://github.com/mpoletiek/py3-CHIRP
But before you try that, let's add rabbit to the usb group if there is one and see what CHIRP is outputting when run from a terminal. ------------------------------------------- Matthew Poletiek 303.810.9082 matthew.poletiek@gmail.com www.matthewpoletiek.com

Hi Robert,
Looks like you're missing the future module. Not sure if that's absolutely required for your radio, but I recommend it.
`sudo apt install python-future`
Did you add rabbit to the usb group? I can't remember if there is one in Ubuntu. Don't forget to refresh your profile or try chirp in a new terminal after making group adjustments.
Besides that I can't think of anything else you should need to do to get this working from Linux's perspective. Out of curiosity can I see the output of `sudo dmesg | grep -i ttyusb` ?
Another thing you can watch is syslog while trying to connect to your radio. `sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog`.
If everything looks good in those two places I'd double check the radio/cable setup.

I ran this command, found on web to install python-future, as the apt install command was unable to locate package python-future.
rabbit@ganymede:~$ pip install future Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable Requirement already satisfied: future in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (0.18.2) WARNING: You are using pip version 20.2.4; however, version 21.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the '/usr/bin/python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
I ran the two commands you specified. The output is attached. In the syslog file, the first 3 lines are unplug, the rest are due to replugging in the FTDI cable. Here seems to be the pertinent line from syslog;

Hi Robert,
Looks like you're missing the future module. Not sure if that's absolutely required for your radio, but I recommend it.
`sudo apt install python-future`
Did you add rabbit to the usb group? I can't remember if there is one in Ubuntu. Don't forget to refresh your profile or try chirp in a new terminal after making group adjustments.
Besides that I can't think of anything else you should need to do to get this working from Linux's perspective. Out of curiosity can I see the output of `sudo dmesg | grep -i ttyusb` ?
Another thing you can watch is syslog while trying to connect to your radio. `sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog`.
If everything looks good in those two places I'd double check the radio/cable setup.

Hi Robert,
I see Linux sees the device just fine, and you should be in the right groups. I'd add the 'usb' group just in case as well.
If that doesn't work then maybe the output of CHIRP run in the command line might hint at whats going wrong.
Also, how did you install this? You might be missing some Python 2 dependencies. Personally I use Gentoo and they ditched Python 2 a while back and we lost CHIRP due to lack of Python 3 support so I forked and use this version instead: https://github.com/mpoletiek/py3-CHIRP But before you try that, let's add rabbit to the usb group if there is one and see what CHIRP is outputting when run from a terminal.

I wasn't sure that there may be a new graphical device manager I did not know about in Ubuntu. And why not? I don't think there is a System menu, either! So back to the command line...I started with Slackware 0.96, so not a noob to Linux, but it has been awhile since serious sysadmin hacking and never before any serial work. I am a noob to Chirp. As I mentioned earlier, my ham radio appears to be on /dev/ttyUSB0:

I will look into this. In the meantime, as I do not know which email to hang this news off of, I will put it here. Here is a (4 star for some reason) comment on the FTDI cable I bought: https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B015YEM5C2/ref=acr_dp_hist_4?ie=UTF8&...
I bought this cable after many, many owners of the Baofeng radios stated to purchase the more expensive cable over the lesser priced cables. My experience was interesting, many owners of these types of cables stated that "they just work with linux with no additional software or support." (besides Chirp) and frankly as a Linux user that's what drew me to this product. Long story short, this did not work with Chirp in Linux, even after updating to the newest version of Chirp. I even downloaded and created a Chirp Live CD. That did not work either.
ANd so I have ordered a different FTDI cable now: BTECH PC03 FTDI Genuine USB Programming Cable for BTECH, BaoFeng, Kenwood, and AnyTone Radio. The description states:
Drivers are available which allow FTDI devices to work with the following operating systems: Windows, Max OSX, and Linux
Thank you for all of the responses! I will try to install python-future, per your instructions, although pip says it is already installed. Robert

Hi Robert,
You might want to check to make sure your user has proper permissions.
In linux, typically the groups you might need for this kind of operation include `dialout`, `usb`, and while you're at it you might as well include `plugdev`.
The command to add your user to a group might be `sudo gpasswd -a <user> group`.
Once thats finished you might need to refresh your profile. Either try opening CHIRP in a new terminal, or log out and log back in.

In thinking about this further, does the setup of my radio to my computer allow data traffic to be read from the radio's tty and processed by a program on the computer for deserialization/decoding, then when the computer program wishes to send data I can serialize/encode traffic and write to the tty? Is that how I can get my program inserted to operate on data traffic?
I appreciate any guidance in this regard.

There is upload and download under radio in the menus. Some radios I've noticed, like the Kenwood TH F6 make changes directly, like a live connection, and there is no upload or download. Other radios like the Baofengs use upload and download, so you send or receive via command.

Hi Glenn,
Is what you are speaking of the download and upload of the radio configuration talking to whatever software is running on the phone?
I want to read /write data to be broadcast over the RF frequency the radio is set to. I want to intercept the traffic on the computer to run my own protocol, which may be audio/video but encoded into my protocol. I am thinking the answer is reading and writing to the tty may work, or mic input and spk output for audio. But I want data transmission, not audio.My software currently reads/writes to/from a socket. The read side of reading from a tty should probably be buffered, somehow. Something to figure out as I complete my ReedSolomon implementation and fix a few bugs in my protocol software.
Kindly, Robert

There is upload and download under radio in the menus. Some radios I've noticed, like the Kenwood TH F6 make changes directly, like a live connection, and there is no upload or download.

In thinking about this further, does the setup of my radio to my computer allow data traffic to be read from the radio's tty and processed by a program on the computer for deserialization/decoding, then when the computer program wishes to send data I can serialize/encode traffic and write to the tty? Is that how I can get my program inserted to operate on data traffic?
I appreciate any guidance in this regard.

You're not going to do that using any connector normally provided on the radio. You can send the data out of the computer through a serial port but it will need to go directly into the modulator or VFO on the radio. There are special data radios available but most amateur transceivers won't do it. Video is different because of the bandwidth required so you might be better with receiver and transmitter designed for TV use.

What? Is there no way to transmit data over RF? I thought that that was a transmit mode, in eligible frequencies. I guess the info transmitted must go through the mic input and out the spk jack, as those are the only jacks in my handheld. But I really thought that data transmission was possible. Oh dear, much more to research.

If you're going to use a software defined radio (SDR) then the "software" that dedines the radio's functions is DSP, carried out at RF or IF frequency. Ideal if you want to implement your own modulation schemes.

Well, whatever data may be sent through my encrypting protocol, so data of all varieties: encoded bytes, audio, video. It's all encoded bytes at the bottom of the stack, with my installation of the correct encoder thunk on the top of the comm stack. I do not know enough yet. But I will learn and am excited to do so!

Just to add, I am thinking about replacing my bottom stack thunk from a socket thunk to a tty thunk to talk to/from the radio. If only I can intercede in the digital traffic flow...SDR I think. So I will have to learn a lot in order to program my UV-5R with Chirp to enable this. I will be visiting you all again in the future. I will work to stay on topic. I apologize for the divergence! An impedence mismatch.
Wish my luck on my Technician and General license exams tomorrow, please!

Just to add to this, encoding is EXACTLY what I wish to do. It may or may not include encryption as a part of the encoding, that will be configurable, such that a non-encrypting encoding stack can be built/used in Amateur Radio, while an encoding->encrypting stack can be built/used with MARS. Is this not SDR? From what Nigel said, SDR may be defining the carrier/modulation settings, is it so? Well, perhaps, whatever the software encoding solution within the realm of Radio, that's what I am interested in.

On receive, audio DSP takes audio from the receiver's detector and possibly feeds it back into the audio stages. On transmit, the DSP gets it's audio from your microphone and feeds the processed audio directly into the radio's modulator. In both cases, you bypass any audio processing within the radio.
DSP on HF receivers is done either at signal (RF) frequency or at the radio's intermediate frequency.
In either case you're unlikely to do it with a standard hand held radio without some surgery.
You can buy VHF/UHF data radios without and audio stages.
If you want to inject video data, or data with a similar bandwedth then you're looking for a radio with an IF 6-10MHz wide. Available but uncommon.
Also, this has no connection with a Chirp egroup. Chirp is software for programming the memories of your regular voice radio.

Well, It does depend on the GUI. There is actually a control panel of sorts if you use Unity or gnome as your desktop. Under there will be a number of “applets” for hardware configuration. This was the gnome project idea of mimicking a windows interface as well as it’s control panel. However, it is sometimes not as useful as being able to troubleshoot and add/remove devices from the CLI. One should look up lsmod as well as modprobe and Insmod. If things are working correctly, new devices will always appear in the /dev directory and may even have some sort of “magic number” associated with them. That’s an advanced idea and shouldn’t really be of concern for this discussion.
Now, if you use the “Lsmod” command (not capitalized, as my stupid autocorrect is trying to change it) before you plug in the usb cable, you should see a list of modules and what they do. After plugging in the cable that connects to your radio, and doing the same command, you should see 1 or more new modules loaded. Those modules will be associated with new devices that show up under /dev. Now, they may be listed as TTYS0 or TTYS1, etc. those would be your comm port entries. ttys0 should be associated with comm 1, etc.
Now, if your system is properly configured, then most of this already happens in background.

Hi Robert,
You might want to check to make sure your user has proper permissions.
In linux, typically the groups you might need for this kind of operation include `dialout`, `usb`, and while you're at it you might as well include `plugdev`.
The command to add your user to a group might be `sudo gpasswd -a <user> group`.
Once thats finished you might need to refresh your profile. Either try opening CHIRP in a new terminal, or log out and log back in.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for pointing me this way, although it seems I am not auto configuring a module for ttyUSB0. I am attaching the output of
lsmod | sed -n 'p;$=' > lsmod-count.txt
Where the last line is a line count. There is no changes in this output between having the phoe unplugged versus plugged, so perhaps that is an indicator that auto-config of a module to talk to the radio is misfiring. I dunno. Is this where modprobe comes in? What module name should I install for Chirp managing traffic over ttyUSB0?
Thanks! Robert

Now, if you use the “Lsmod” command (not capitalized, as my stupid autocorrect is trying to change it) before you plug in the usb cable, you should see a list of modules and what they do. After plugging in the cable that connects to your radio, and doing the same command, you should see 1 or more new modules loaded. Those modules will be associated with new devices that show up under /dev. Now, they may be listed as TTYS0 or TTYS1, etc. those would be your comm port entries. ttys0 should be associated with comm 1, etc.
Now, if your system is properly configured, then most of this already happens in background. However, there may be some cases where you may have to add your user account to the appropriate group in order to use the device. There are GUI programs for this as well as some CLI commands.

Hey! It worked! I had to seat the cable one last click, as I saw ttyUSB0 disappear and then appear on unplugging then plugging in the USB and I also had ftdi_sio module installed. I seated the cable firmly and read the radio config.

Otherwise most common cause of no response from radio is poor connection on the radio end. Try seating the cable with a little extra push. In some cases, cables have even needed to be trimmed a bit to properly seated.

Robert, I for one am interested in what you are working on. That is where radio is headed like it or not. As long as we set and use 40 year old analog voice tech we are going nowhere. On top of that all of the tech vultures are circling ready to grab up our spectrum, it is use it or lose it. We lost 3.5Ghz to the cellular folks, they are trying to grab our piece of 5.8Ghz. If you are running a digital repeater you well maybe using one of those bands as part of your link to your digital repeater.
Glad that you got the cable thing straight in order to use Chirp to do the radio programming and wish you luck with the digital work, we need to see more of it in this hobby (as buzzards circle). The zombie analog repeater count is extremely high everywhere I travel, I think you could give a safety of life alert on most of them and no one would hear you. At least on most of the digital systems I know that I can get on a talk group and get someone.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much and I would say I apologize for all my encoding BS clogging the thread on the wrong list. Forgive me my excess. I do not mean to antagonize. Just searching for information to become a productive member of the radio community.

Simply do "ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*" before and after plugging in the cable. You should then know for sure which port to use. Otherwise most common cause of no response from radio is poor connection on the radio end. Try seating the cable with a little extra push. In some cases, cables have even needed to be trimmed a bit to properly seated.
I can't believe all the BS in this tread.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for pointing me this way, although it seems I am not auto configuring a module for ttyUSB0. I am attaching the output of
lsmod | sed -n 'p;$=' > lsmod-count.txt
Where the last line is a line count. There is no changes in this output between having the phoe unplugged versus plugged, so perhaps that is an indicator that auto-config of a module to talk to the radio is misfiring. I dunno. Is this where modprobe comes in? What module name should I install for Chirp managing traffic over ttyUSB0?
Thanks! Robert

If things are working correctly, new devices will always appear in the /dev directory and may even have some sort of “magic number” associated with them. That’s an advanced idea and shouldn’t really be of concern for this discussion.
Now, if you use the “Lsmod” command (not capitalized, as my stupid autocorrect is trying to change it) before you plug in the usb cable, you should see a list of modules and what they do. After plugging in the cable that connects to your radio, and doing the same command, you should see 1 or more new modules loaded. Those modules will be associated with new devices that show up under /dev. Now, they may be listed as TTYS0 or TTYS1, etc. those would be your comm port entries. ttys0 should be associated with comm 1, etc.
Now, if your system is properly configured, then most of this already happens in background. However, there may be some cases where you may have to add your user account to the appropriate group in order to use the device. There are GUI programs for this as well as some CLI commands. Now, some of the commands above may require that you use sudo and log into root. 2 items of caution here:
- If you are unsure, don’t use sudo
- Sudo is dangerous if you mess up. Only for advanced users! So, be very
careful if you do have to use it.
As always, read the associated man pages.

Hi Robert,
You might want to check to make sure your user has proper permissions.
In linux, typically the groups you might need for this kind of operation include `dialout`, `usb`, and while you're at it you might as well include `plugdev`.
The command to add your user to a group might be `sudo gpasswd -a <user> group`.
Once thats finished you might need to refresh your profile. Either try opening CHIRP in a new terminal, or log out and log back in.

Hi Chuck,
Your email is very encouraging. I failed my Tech exam yesterday, so I am studying more with some online practice exams on eham,com. I will retest in May. Meanwhile I have setup some of the local channels on my radio but have not heard any traffic. I think I set the PL codes correctly.
Regarding digital, I need to learn the apropos frequencies and the apropos packet specifications (WinLink?). I am reading from the ARRL Operating Manual, which talks about something like
- APRS - EchoLink - IRLP - Winlink - NRZ - Manchester - Miller
My intuition is that these are ways to encode binary data on an audio transmission/reception signal, both digital and analog signals.
The encoding of data from software structures into bytes occurs just above these encodings. I have some specified encodings of common objects I use, using ASN.1 encoding, but more could be added such as weather SITREPs, stock info and transmission triangulation data, for instance. After encoding the high level objects into bytes, then the RFmessage/signal encoding would occur (from the list above). Currently my ParrotTalk protocol handshake objects are encoded as well as messages supporting distributed objects. I use TCP, not UDP, so the idea of a broadcast message is still a bit foreign to me.
Here is my Java code, I think it still works, but my core development occurs in Squeak and I am advancing the implementation, including per-connection config, which will need up-dating the Java implementation. https://github.com/CallistoHouseLtd/ParrotTalk
Is there another established mailing list for digital comms over RF or might we start one so we do not interfere in this list, as we are off-topic?
I appreciate you.
Best, Robert

Robert, I for one am interested in what you are working on. That is where radio is headed like it or not. As long as we set and use 40 year old analog voice tech we are going nowhere. On top of that all of the tech vultures are circling ready to grab up our spectrum, it is use it or lose it. We lost 3.5Ghz to the cellular folks, they are trying to grab our piece of 5.8Ghz. If you are running a digital repeater you well maybe using one of those bands as part of your link to your digital repeater.
Glad that you got the cable thing straight in order to use Chirp to do the radio programming and wish you luck with the digital work, we need to see more of it in this hobby (as buzzards circle). The zombie analog repeater count is extremely high everywhere I travel, I think you could give a safety of life alert on most of them and no one would hear you. At least on most of the digital systems I know that I can get on a talk group and get someone.
Keep up the good work.

As someone else mentioned, you need to be a member of the dialout group /dev/ttyUSB0 is correct. Click on any folder to open file manager. My preferred file manager id caja. You might have something else installed depending on which desktop you're using.
