A couple of more commands to check out:
lsusb (or lsusb -l) will list all USB devices. You can do the same before/after to see what appears.
dmesg will show the log of kernel messages. Most (if not all) USB devices will put a message here when they are inserted. You can remove the device, do dmesg -c to empty the log, insert the device then dmesg to see new messages. Or you can grep the dmesg output to look for clues.
I’m not in front of a PC to give more specific commands, but having the command names should help. You can always Google “lsusb tutorial“ or such.

?I've been trying
ls -al /dev/
and I get a ton of output.
I didn't notice anything new from try to try but will use your string
and try again.
Thanks.

And if you don't see it there, unplug the USB to the radio, do
ls -l /dev
then plug the USB into the radio and turn it on and run the same command
again. Look through the list to see what changed. The new entry will be
what you need use for your port. These days, with all kinds of weird USB
stuff out there, it could show up a number of different ways.

Just to make sure it's not a YAAC problem, after connecting the USB
cable and powering up the Alinco radio, try issuing the Linux shell command:
ls -l /dev/ttyUSB*
Do you actually find any such devices on your Linux system?

They provide a short adapter cable from the mini-USB connector on the
TNC board
to a printer-type 'square' USB-B connector.
I tried bypassing that adapter with a mini-USB to USB cable, to rule-out
an adapter failure.
No joy.

How is the Argent product wired through the radio case?

No.
When you install the Argent Data Tracker the Serial Port is no
longer accessible.
YAAC can't communicate with a USB port?
