[chirp_users] Can't connect to BTECH UV-25X2-Gen2

If you had another radio the cable would connect to, you could try the cable there, to see if the problem is the cable or the radio.
I have found that many of my cables work on different radios, if the tip fits into the radio.

I'm using the Baofeng cable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG

Years ago, I bought a 5 dollar cable to program my Baofeng. It didn't work. I was informed many cloned FTDI cables don't work.
I bought the Baofeng cable, about $20 at the time. Always works.

I tried under Windows 10, which reports the cable as being COM5. I could not connect to the radio. Now I've tried on another laptop running Ubuntu 22.04LTS. Still no dice. The "Help me" under port says "Your cable appears to be on port: FT231X USB UART - FT231X USB UART (/dev/ttyUSB0)"
Maybe the cable is bad?

Rich,
How are COM Ports tested in Linux? I know in Windows, Device Manager can be used.
Thanks,
David

Check comm ports. Usually 3 or 4. Should show the chip in your cable.

I hear nothing. No sign that anything is being received.

Hi John,
Might the tuned frequency be receiving traffic while you are connected?
If so, make sure it's on a quiet channel.
HTH.

I get "Error reading data from radio" I'm using this cable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MT7IFG It is plugged in all the way!
I cannot find a debug.log There is no option for one in my CHIRP (CHIRP next-20230712 on Python 3.8.10 wxPython 4.0.7 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.0.4) And none is created in ~/.chirp While CHIRP is still running:
joliver at blinky:~$ ls .chirp/
chirp.config stock_configs
In the terminal I launched CHIRP:
