Issue #3475 has been updated by Yaron Oren-Pines.
Hi Pavel,
I would be happy to loan a Kenwood Radio in this family (Can loan TK-880 and/or TK-981) to a local developer.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Jose, California) and can be reached at k6yop@arrl.net
If you know of anyone local here, please put us in touch,
Yaron - K6YOP New Model #3475: Support for Kenwood: other Kenwood Radios that work in the HAM Bands
============================
From my experience all Commercial Kenwoods are essentially the same inside, there are two drivers already in Chirp (tk760.py & tk760g.py) that can be used as templates.
A there is a third one under development here for the TK-790, I lack time right now an sending the radio to me is (yet) a hard task (I live in Cuba, customs, etc.)
Commercial Kenwoods are a *X because they use the same layout for different radios in the same family, the only thing you need is to acquire the IDs and band edges for the other members of the family and boom! you will have a driver that can handle a bunch of radios.
I can help but not lead the development, without the radio is a hard task.
