[chirp_users] Error Trying To Download From FT-1D

[Amber Fechko]

Make sure you're not running through an external USB hub or anything;
connect directly to the computer.

Try disconnecting the cable, and then running:

user at host:~$ dmesg
(a ton of system messages should stream by)

Then reconnect your cable, turn on radio/volume up (shouldn't be necessary
for dmesg output, but might as well do it now), and run the same command:

user at host:~$ dmesg
(all of the previous system messages, and hopefully something new
indicating a usb->serial device like below)
[430941.789785] usb 2-1.7: new full-speed USB device number 49 using
ehci-pci
[430941.883258] usb 2-1.7: New USB device found, idVendor=067b,
idProduct=2303
[430941.883267] usb 2-1.7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=0
[430941.883272] usb 2-1.7: Product: USB-Serial Controller
[430941.883277] usb 2-1.7: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
[430941.883801] pl2303 2-1.7:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
[430941.885384] usb 2-1.7: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Assuming your system registers the usb->serial cable, you should see it in
dmesg w/the device it was assigned (/dev/ttyUSB0 in my case -- vdir
/dev/ttyUSB* is faster if you just need the device ID, but if vdir isn't
showing anything, dmesg might give you a hint as to why).

I had to enter /dev/ttyUSB0 manually in the "Port" section of CHIRP -- it
didn't show by default unless I restarted CHIRP after the cable was
connected.
