[chirp_users] New user, and question on diagnosing new radio

[Tim Lavoie]

On a related note, this radio/cable shows up not as a serial port, but 
as HID (human interface device) class. For example, I see this on Linux 
(from syslog):

hid-generic 0003:15A2:0073.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.00 Device 
[FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR INC. MCU MOUSE DEMO] on usb-0000:00:14.0-6/input0

Or from lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 15a2:0073 Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.


Chirp appears to be expecting only tty ports - any idea if other radios 
do the same, and have workarounds?
