Hello,<div><br></div><div>I tried Chirp both for Windows XP and for Linux / Ubuntu. Since the version in the PPA for ham radio in Ubuntu is not the latest, I installed from the compressed file on the chrip web downloads page. I also downloaded and installed the Windows exe and installed it on the same laptop - dual booting into Windows XP or Ubuntu Precise.<br>
<div><br></div><div>I am using a G4ZIP dual usb interface - it does CAT and Sound Card modes.</div><div><br></div><div>In Windows it uses COM4 and under Linux it uses /dev/ttyUSB1 although /dev/ttyUSB0 is also available but I think that's the external sound card in the G4ZIP interface.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Both versions don't list the Yaesu FT-897 so I used the Yaesu FT-857 US Version instead.</div><div><br></div><div>I tried the Linux version - no luck downloading - I got the error was expecting 4 something and received 0 error message. I noticed I could set to ;/dev/ttyUSB0 or USB1 but I could NOT set the baud rate which is 38,400.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In Linux I looked at the devices: ls /dev/ttyUS? -l </div><div><br></div><div>I saw they belonged the group dialout so I added my username to group dialout using sudo adduser username dialout and logged my user out and rebooted the system. No luck.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I tried putting the FT897 into memory mode when starting, and I tried leaving it in VFO mode.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there something I'm missing?</div><div><br></div><div>73</div><div><br clear="all">
