I have a follow-up to my previous post, below, I would like to add that this 
cable works with Chirp in my Windows 7 computer, but accessibility is so bad, 
it is frustrating to use, as you have to find things with routing the jaws 
cursor, then getting where you want, and then routing the PC cursor, and so on.
But I know that this should work in my Ubuntu, as I did the command 
lsUSB
and it showed the device on USB hub 001 and it was listed as USB 017 
manufacturer Prolific.
So I know now that Ubuntu is seeing the cable.
I tried all the TTY options including USB0.
This computer has only USB-3 ports, and I wonder if Chirp may have problems 
with USB-3, or perhaps the cable has difficulty on USB-3?
Usually computers are backward-compatible, so I don't think that is the problem.
I even went so far as to try:
chmod 777 /dev/USB
but that did not help.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi All,
Thanks for the assistance so far.
It seems that I have permission to my USB port for programming the radio after 
going through setting the dialout command.
But I have a new problem and I wonder if it is the lack of a driver for this 
USB cable.
The error is:
an error has occurred
failure to communicate with radio
serial object has no attribute
 'setTimeout'

Thanks for any help
