    Hi, I'm a huge fan of CHIRP, and I'd like to help.

    I have both a TS-480, and an IC-7100. Both are not supported by CHIRP

yet. The format for the TS-480 is similar to the TS-2000, as I understand it. I am not sure what to use as a template for the IC-7100 yet. Anyone working on these or similar devices that can clue me in?

It looks like Kenwood publishes the protocol for the TS-480, so that should go smoothly: http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/ts_480/pdf/ts_480_pc.pdf

Start with the TS-2000 or TM-D710 code. Both are pretty similar. Small things will change like the number of fields and the index for CTCSS tones.

For the IC-7100, I'd start with the IC-7000 or IC-7200 driver.
