[chirp_users] Wouxun KG-UV8E

[Glenn]

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.

  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 at 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 at laptop ~]$ chirpw 

  (process:2492): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
      Using the fallback 'C' locale.

  ERROR: ----------------

  ERROR: ----------------------------


  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?
