<div dir="ltr"><div>So, after starting CHIRP, you dropped to a terminal and did the "sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB1" command? I think the /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 probably just depends on which USB port the cable is plugged into. I always use the one on the left so mine is always /dev/ttyUSB0. But it needs to be made readable and writable with the chmod, and that needs to done with sudo.

<div dir="ltr">Windows is fussy about the chip in the programming cable. Dan's
advice to use real FTDI cables for Windows is absolutely correct. For Linux, it
does not make any difference, cheap fake Prolific cables work great once you use
chmod to make the device readable and writable.

<div>With the USB device plugged in, use a terminal and enter this:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>lsusb </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Carefully check the names of the devices. Is it really /dev/USB1
?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Remember Unix / Linux is case sensitive, /dev/USB1 is NOT
/dev/usb1 which is a normal device name.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Let's assume you made an error and the device is <span style="font-family:sans-serif">ttyUSB1.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:sans-serif"><br></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:sans-serif">In terminal:</span></div>
<div>ls -l /dev/ttyUSB1</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Pay attention to the group this device belongs, to. The owner will be
root.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You need to be in the same group to access it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Find out what groups your user account is in by the command
"groups."</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In terminal enter:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>groups</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Is the group that <span style="font-family:sans-serif">ttyUSB1
