Hi Robert, Looks like you're missing the future module. Not sure if that's absolutely required for your radio, but I recommend it.
`sudo apt install python-future` Did you add rabbit to the usb group? I can't remember if there is one in Ubuntu. Don't forget to refresh your profile or try chirp in a new terminal after making group adjustments. Besides that I can't think of anything else you should need to do to get this working from Linux's perspective. Out of curiosity can I see the output of `sudo dmesg | grep -i ttyusb` ? Another thing you can watch is syslog while trying to connect to your radio. `sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog`. If everything looks good in those two places I'd double check the radio/cable setup. ------------------------------------------- Matthew Poletiek 303.810.9082 [email protected] www.matthewpoletiek.com On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 9:38 AM Robert Withers <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Matthew, here is my attached output from chirpw... > > Kindly, > Robert > > On 4/6/21 9:49 PM, Matthew Poletiek wrote: > > Hi Robert, > > > > I see Linux sees the device just fine, and you should be in the right > > groups.
