Hi Dennis. No problem...I'm 68 now, and find I have much less patience than I used to, and don't suffer fools as I should. (And in case that came out wrong, I'm definitely not saying you are a fool!) 73 and best wishes for 2020 Roger G3YTN/8P6RX --- *** Roger Hill

The Windows equivalent of sudo is "run as administrator" which you Windows users often seem to need. At least with Linux, I can initiate an update and ALL the software I have installed gets updated. No going around multiple websites looking for updates. And it only takes 5 minutes at most for bi

For me under Ubuntu it just works: make sure you are in the dialout group, and when you try to upload or download to the radio, you probably need to select /dev/ttyUSB0 (you can check this by unplugging your cable, then plugging it back in, and running dmesg to see what device got assigned). Rog

My experience matches Nigel's. I've used it on all of the major Linux distributions, a few of the lesser ones, and my own Linux system I built from source. If Chirp doesn't work on Linux, then replace your cable, since it is the likely problem. 72/73... Larry AC8YE On Mon, Dec 23, 2019 at 10:15
