Hello Liz,

We need a bit more information here.  What OS and version?  What
version of Xastir?  What kind of radio?  What kind of TNC (or
software TNC)?  Do you know for a fact that your Prolific (pl2303)
cable is good?  The reason I ask this last one is that
Prolific-based cables are renown for being unreliable though they
usually work fine under Linux.

Have you tried any other programs to interact with the radio via
this USB cable? ?

--David
KI6ZHD
Debian mixed Jessie / Sid (testing/unstable)
Xastir V2.0.1 (July 2012, that wasn't updated)
D710
haven't tried any other cable nor any other programs yet

pl2303 cable works fine to program radio
gpsd still claims it despite altering /etc/default/gpsd
alternate cable has same result with xastir, not affected by gpsd
claiming it

actual installed package is xastir_2.0.1-1_i386.deb from 30 Sept 2012


This is the tail of the tnc.log

Liz,

Perhaps a silly question, but have you ticked "enable transmitting" in Xastir?
