Hi Larry -

First, I add the name as follows:  sudo adducer bob dialoiut          =
Still unable to connect.

Then I did some more testing and got some interesting results.  First I =
redid the sudo commands and then checked the results:

bob@linuxmint ~ $ sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
[sudo] password for bob:
bob@linuxmint ~ $ sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB1
bob@linuxmint ~ $ ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 19 21:44 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jul 19 21:44 /dev/ttyUSB1

I then reset the computer and rechecked the data again:

bob@linuxmint ~ $ ls -la /dev/ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 19 21:52 /dev/ttyUSB0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jul 19 21:52 /dev/ttyUSB1
bob@linuxmint ~ $

The -rw in the third row which is 'other' is deleted when I do a reset =
on the computer.  I do not believe that is important, but am not sure.  =
The user and group remain the same.

Still no change when I try to open WinSDR before or after the reset.

I know there are six USB ports on the computer and all are useable in =
both Linux or Windows XP.  I checked WinSDR in all six ports and it will =
not open.  I am wondering if there is some obscure switch that is not =
properly set as I know everything works in Windows.  Either that or this =
version of Linux is incompatible with the signal from the A/D board.  =
Its has to be in one of these two area.  Personally, I believe that =
there is some switch that is not set properly.

Thanks again for all your help.

Bob Hancock
