Connect systems cs700 programming cable problem

[kc2sgi]

I have linux mint on my laptop and when I try to read my radio it tells me to check to see if the radio is connected. For some reason linux is not seeing the USB cable. But for comparison if I program a let's say baofeng radio using chirp linux has no problem with that programming cable. Any ideas. And the dmr cable works on my windows machine no problem.

I wasn’t aware that CHIRP supported any DMR radios at all. I’ve only used it for analog ones.

It doesn't. I was just using that as an example. I can program the analog radio no problem. But if I go to use CPS for the cs700 the computer does not recognize the usb cable that comes with the cs700. So I have to use a whole different computer just to program that one radio.

Cable problem

Call Jerry at CS. He has helped me a couple of times and given me accurate and useful answers.

I emailed him and he said they unfortunately they do not have any one skilled in linux.

Very little programming software works well with linux, even using WINE. The CS700 software was not written to work with other operating systems, while Chirp is written for the 3 major OS systems and has a separate download for each. The problem is the way USB is addressed in linux vs Windows.
