Dear All:
Still having problems with the port in CHIRP. I did as Thomas suggested and added myself to the dialoout group, but now I get a port configuration error. Following are the error message and some selections from what I get from Google:
***
ERROR MESSAGE:
"An error has occurred
Could not configure port: (5, 'Input/output error')"
***
Apr 16, 2012 — This exception is thrown if the port is not available. On Linux, you can simply specify the exact name of the port to use, like ser = serial.

Michael,
I assume that you are using a USB based programming cable. Which port are you selecting? On my computer running Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu), I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the the port list to find "/dev/ttyUSB0" (the correct selection for a USB based programming cable).
Also which version of CHIRP are you using? Don't install CHIRP from the repository in Ubuntu. That will get you v0.4.1 which is nearly 4 years old. If you did that, then you must uninstall it and then follow the instructions on the CHIRP download page to add the CHIRP snapshot repository and install the latest CHIRP daily build (which is currently CHIRP daily-20160924).

There were lots more, but they seemed to be duplicative.

I am using the latest version of CHIRP recommended in a post for Umbutu which you all helped me to install. The X61 has 3 serial ports. I have tried "/dev/ttyS0" [through S4] and I get the same error on all of them. I have also tried all three USB ports and get the same error message.
I installed netstat and tried to use it to get a port list and I get several terminal pages of data, but I can't figure out how to go back and copy it all.
I'll be at BLUG later this morning. Thanks for your patience.
