I've just been on a 2000km trip. I had upgraded the computer which runs xastir in the car and it just didn't want to talk with the radio. The radio has a cable which connects to a pl2303 serial-usb interface and it was being detected and assigned /dev/ttyUSB0.
I found that gpsd was grabbing the device, so I instructed gpsd to stick to /dev/ttyACM*, which was successful in terms of gpsd running smoothly but didn't help me with accessing the radio. I got as far as finding that /dev/ttyUSB0 is rw for root and group dialout, and that I belong to group dialout. Obviously after such a trip I'm a bit tired, so what other ideas for troubleshooting have people got?
