I wondered about that, but I have used this computer and this Chirp program to program other radios, but do you suppose the dialout thing needs to be run with a different cable? This is a live instance of Ubuntu and I already added Ubuntu as the user in dialout I am sure, because the CSV files for my other radios are there as well. That is what has me puzzled.

Either run CHIRP as root or as your Linus user to the dialout group. I also have a Kenwood TH-F6a. CHIRP programs it in "live" mode.
