Dialout is now on the list and I have downloaded the UV-5R. Thank you very much guys.<br>

Linux is fun, so much better than I ever thought it would be. Giving new life to the old laptops in the shack.<br>
Now will try it on Zorin too.<br>
<br>
I see a number of Ham related applications available for Linux. What are the main ones recommended to play with? I have GPredict satellite tracking running.<br>

Welcome to the world of Linux...<br>
<br>
I think you just need<br>
to add your login username to the group called<br>
'dialout'.<br>
Then it will work.<br>
<br>
<br>
There is a graphic<br>
interface for this - but it's really easy to type a<br>
couple of lines in a terminal screen to make it happen.<br>
<br>
open a<br>
terminal and run the following. (replace USERNAME with your<br>
username)<br>
sudo usermod -a -G dialout<br>
USERNAME<br>
(you will be asked for the password of the account<br>
who setup the Linux install - probably you - so put yours<br>
in)<br>
(if alls well now type this)<br>
id USERNAME<br>
(press enter and it will list groups<br>
you are a member of, this should now include dialout<br>
Importantly - now log out and back in again and<br>
it should work.<br>
Hope this helps -<br>
It's the first job to do to a ham radio install.<br>
If you want to check up on this<br>
first - you would be adding an already existing username to<br>
an already existing group.<br>
ps<br>
finding a local Linux User Group might be a good idea,<br>
there's nothing like face to face support!<br>

I am new<br>
to Linux (Linux Mint 17.2 and Zorin 9.0). I have installed<br>
CHIRP on both computers. But I am unable to download from<br>
my Baofeng UV-3R or Baofeng UV-5R. In each case it appears<br>
it does not find, or allow me access to, the Com Port ttyS0,<br>
or any port for that matter. Probably something simple I<br>
do not know about being new to Linux. Can anyone please<br>
give me some advice? Thanks<br>
