Re: Error Selecting Port on CHIRP

[tom r lopes <tomrlopes@gmail.com>]

You need to add yourself to the dialout group,  Then you will have the rights to access the 

serial port.  

sudo adduser tom dialout

that is for me, tom.  Replace tom with whatever your login name is.  

Then you will need to logout and log back in for it to take effect.

Dear All:

I am trying to use CHIRP on my Lenovo ThinkPadX61 running Uuntu 20.4 LTS to program my Wouxun KG-UV3D.  When I try the first step in the process -- downloading the frequencies from the radio -- I get the error message:

"An error has occurred:  [Errno 13] could not open port /dev/ttyS0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyS0'" 

The choices I get for "Port" are /dev/ttyS1 [through S59].  Any idea how to figure out the current one without trying 59 ports?  Is there some permission I need or dependency I need to download?
