Group , Thanks for the reply. But it's not a solution: I am a member of the dialout group. In fact, that was what got fldigi to work. jan@marconi ~ $ id uid=1000(jan) gid=1000(jan) groups=1000(jan),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),27(sudo),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),110(lpadmin),114(sambashare) I'm more suspecting interference or some other hardware problem, but then I'm rather puzzled with the fact that jpskmail gets more affected by it than fldigi ... I am trying to get my boat's radio (ft 817 / microham usb III interface) to work in the shack, to have some switching possibilities ... -- mvg, Jan Bruggeman Snoekstraat 79 9000 Gent gsm: +32 476 066 826 web: http://www.aubine.be mail: jan@xxxxxxxxx On 5 jan 2014 01:35 "gm0csz" <gm0csz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Jan , Referring to your last problem , a question : Are you a member of > dialout group ? > > > If not ,do : sudo adduser <username> dialout <username> is jan > > > Good Luck > > > Frank , GM0CSZ / KN6WH > > > > > > On Sat, Jan 4, 2014 at 6:02 PM, Jan Bruggeman <<jan@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: > > > All, > > > > First of all, my best wishes for the new year.
