[Elecraft] Problem with gmfsk

[John J. Bahun]

After su-ing to the root user - you need to change directories to /dev
and then chmod 666 NOT 777 - 777 would give the "nodes" in the dev directory
<execute> permission which does not make sense for a device node.

To summarize....

su to root
cd  /dev
chmod 666 ttyS0*

Hope this helps
