Nothing to it, really. It apt-get installed just fine on Ubuntu and then "just worked".  I was worried about having to fiddle to get the USB cable for the Waxonwaxoff to work but Linux just saw it and called it /dev/ttyUSB0.  Selected that in the GUI and away we went.  I guess I did have to select the radio type somewhere.

I plan to try it on my "radio PC" that runs W7e this weekend.

Didn't realize I had the cable for my Wouff Hong (Waxon?  Wouxun?).  It's USB but Linux Did The Right Thing with it.  Then CHIRP had no problem ingesting the frequencies and no problem putting them back in.  Sweet! Can't wait to test on the rest of my radio menagerie!
