Re: CHIRP on Kubuntu 22.04 fixed it

2023-06-26 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
Today I found out what I did wrong.  First I installed via synaptic.  
Today I installed chirp legacy, which worked but doesn't get any 
updates.  Then I tried installing via flatpak and snap.  The versions I 
got both times didn't work.  Finally I went to the chirp site, followed 
the instructions there.  It works.

Lesson learned.  Never forget RTFM.

Re: CHIRP on Kubuntu 22.04

2023-06-23 Thread Jim via PLUG-discuss
My cable only has one connector and the radio is a Yaesu Ft-65R. It used 
to work before I upgraded to 22.04, and still works on windows 10.

putting pressure on that dual audio-style connector with my hand to

the connectivity problem.  Then again, I'm using a cheap Baofeng radio 
and Baofeng cable, so that might not be your problem.  (Also, I'm 
running Debian, not Kubuntu.)

Also make sure the port is actually running on /dev/ttyUSB0 and

wiggled causing the device to reset too quickly and is already in
use.  Check using "dmesg | grep usbTTY" to make sure the number.

There's no way in CHIRP to set any of this.  It gives me the option to 
set a port.  My options are /dev/ttyS0 - ttyS31 and /dev/ttyUSB0.
Also make sure the port is actually running on /dev/ttyUSB0 and not 
USB1 or other, I've had this happen if a cable gets yanked or wiggled 
causing the device to reset too quickly and is already in use.  Check

dmesg | grep usbTTY provided no results, but "dmesg | grep usbTTY" 
returned the following:

[19805.739059] usb 3-4.3: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0

I'm not familiar with that, but I know that in order to get my dive
computer to work with subsurface on Linux I have to add my user to the
dialout group. Maybe there's something like that for chirp?
