<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
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
belongs to listed as one of your groups? If not you have to add your user to
that group using the root account.</SPAN></DIV>

Hi,<BR>> I just got a new used radio, a Kenwood TH-F6.<BR>> So I plugged
in the radio using a non-Kenwood cable and I went into<BR>> "radio" and
download from radio and selected my radio model and USB0 and I<BR>> get the
message:<BR>> error no 2 cannot open tty/usb0 error cannot locate
tty/USB0.<BR>> or something similar.<BR>> I have used this cable and
that Ubuntu with Chirp in the past for my other<BR>> radios, and other than
different brands of radios, I have always been able<BR>> to do
this.<BR>> I know a guy who has done this to this model using the Baofeng
cable using<BR>> a different software in Windows, not the Kenwood software,
but one that<BR>> they purchased.<BR>> I don't recall the name, but I
think it starts with an R.<BR>> At any rate, I'd sooner buy a Kenwood cable
than that other software and<BR>> keep using Chirp.<BR>> Hopefully I
didn't get it mixed up with the Radioddity cable.<BR>> I thought I had the
right cable with the Radioddity when I sent it off.<BR>> I don't know if
they put the name of the associated radio on the cables,<BR>> since I'm
Blind.<BR>> But any who, would this be an error for the wrong
cable?<BR>> Thanks.<BR>> Glenn<BR><BR>Hi Glenn,<BR><BR>>From what you
are describing it sounds like you Linux user doen't have<BR>permission to
access the port. Either run CHIRP as root or as your<BR>Linus user to the
dialout group.<BR><BR>I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in
"live" mode.<BR><BR>Jim
