Phil, Someone gave you this command, but they forgot to start it with "sudo" and if you didn't use sudo the command will not work.
sudo chmod 777 /dev/ttyUSB0 Check the ownership of this: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 This will list the owners of /dev/ttyUSB0. See if you're in the group that is listed. Enter this command: groups It will return the groups your a member of. You have to belong to the group that is listed when you gave the command: ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0 If you disconnect the USB cable then reconnect it. You can confirm the device name by this command: sudo dmesg | tail You should see lines that says "new device" and it will give the address of the new device, that's the device CHIRP needs to use in order to work . Try that, 73 David N1EA On Mon, Dec 23, 2019, 00:20 Phil <phill...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 9/12/19 3:51 am, Jim Unroe wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I said I'd report back after I received another programming cable.
