I hate typing sudo first.
I always do sudo su or sudo -s first so I can type whatever I want without the 
worry of leaving out sudo.

  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

    Hello everyone,

    I said I'd report back after I received another programming cable. This 
    one contains an FTDI chip and, of course, the radio is still not recognised.

    The cable connectors must not be making proper contact. I've read 
    suggestions that the cable needs to be pressed in firmly. If I press any 
    harder then I'll surly break something.

    What a pain!
