Description

Issue description:
Chirp does not work with Wouxun KG-UVD1P on Ubuntu 18.04. Following message is displayed:
Failed to communicate with radio: Radio not responding

Same radio works with Windows (Virtualbox) and original Wouxun software - I am able to read/write.

Same cable is used for Linux and Windows connections. It is not moved, as I plug in the USB device in Vbox menu.

Environment:

  • Wouxun KG-UVD1P radio
  • CHIRP daily-20190120 on Ubuntu 18.04
  • PL2303 cable (067b:2303)

Have you been able to resolve this on your own since you submitted this?

This looks like a cable / driver / connector issue. Please refer to these Wiki articles:
CableGuide
CableGuide FTDI OEM Cables
If there's no solution to be found in any of them, please read: How To Report Issues and provide a full debug log. Thank you!
Linux notes: Linux generally is quite good with USB to Serial converter drivers, so I wouldn't expect any trouble from that end.
