[chirp_users] No USB Port Error

[Glenn K0LNY]

Hi,
I just got a new used radio, a Kenwood TH-F6.
So I plugged in the radio using a non-Kenwood cable and I went into "radio" and download from radio and selected my radio model and USB0 and I get the message:
error no 2 cannot open tty/usb0 error cannot locate tty/USB0.
or something similar.
I have used this cable and that Ubuntu with Chirp in the past for my other radios, and other than different brands of radios, I have always been able to do this.
I know a guy who has done this to this model using the Baofeng cable using a different software in Windows, not the Kenwood software, but one that they purchased.
I don't recall the name, but I think it starts with an R.
At any rate, I'd sooner buy a Kenwood cable than that other software and keep using Chirp.
Hopefully I didn't get it mixed up with the Radioddity cable.
I thought I had the right cable with the Radioddity when I sent it off.
I don't know if they put the name of the associated radio on the cables, since I'm Blind.
But any who, would this be an error for the wrong cable?
Thanks.
Glenn
