<br>
I am a new member to the Chirp user group and have a question.<br>
<br>
I have downloaded Chirp to Xubuntu 12.04 using Synaptic Package<br>
Manager and set it up to try to work with the VX5R. I get an error<br>
message after trying to connect. The connection is via a USB to<br>
serial adapter which has worked before with the rig. The software is<br>
configured to use ttyUSB0 which is correct, I see that /dev/ttyUSB0<br>
has permissions of:<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Sep 23 17:22 /dev/ttyUSB0<br>
<br>
So I put myself in the dialout group as such:<br>
dialout:x:20:marty<br>
<br>
and have rebooted the machine a couple of times since that time.<br>
First is the entry in group correct, my login id is marty?<br>
<br>
Second has anyone else had this problem with VX5R rigs.<br>
<br>
The version of Chirp I am using is 0.1.12, I just loaded it yesterday<br>
sometime.<br>
<br>
On another not, I have a system running Win XP and loaded Chirp on it<br>
too and am getting much the same response. Only on that system I<br>
was connecting via serial port.<br>
I was able to connect and download and modify using Vx5 Commander and<br>
EVE, not very well mind you but it did work.<br>
<br>
Any ideas.<br>
<br>
