<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>How does one go about doing virtual com ports in
Linux?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In windows, I have a lot of them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But I can really only use Chirp in Linux, as it is
doable in windows, but difficult in Windows when it is working right, because of
the fact that Chirp in Windows does not work well with a screenreader, I would
not want to try and figure this out in Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I mainly use windows, and only boot to Linux for
things like using Chirp, or working with disk partitions and the
like.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But since Chirp worked as normal in Linux with the
new cable and my Baofeng, I know that the cable is working and Chirp is
working.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This cable has a plug in that resembles a headphone
plug and a variety of different cords for different radios.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>One of the ones that worked for the Baofeng has two
tips as the Baofeng cable does, but there is only one other cable with two tips
and that fits neither radio.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The other tips only have one plug a couple of which
are too small to fit in the bigger jack.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I guess I didn't try the smaller tips in the
smaller of the </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Kenwood jack.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Maybe the smaller plug on the radio is the
important one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The cables aren't labeled, so I had to try them and
see if they work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Has anyone here used a cable for a Kenwood TH-F6
with only one plug?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Glen,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<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

<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

that group using the root account.</SPAN></DIV>

Glenn<BR><BR>Hi Glenn,<BR><BR>>From what you are describing it sounds
