Why does the repository have the Kenwood_TK-8180.img file in /tests/images when there is no support for this radio in CHIRP? The tests won't run for me when this image is present (Unknown radio type `Kenwood_TK-8180').
If I remove it to run the tests and then put it back after the tests are completed, then "hg export tip" claims it has change and it shows as a "diff".
Should this image be removed from the repository or am I doing something wrong?.
I added TK-8180 support a little while ago, so you should have it:

I'm guessing maybe the driver does actually exist for you, but you're seeing the failure because it's not registering? It requires the python-future module to register itself, so if you're missing that, it won't actually show up. On ubuntu "apt-get install python-future". Otherwise: "pip install future".

I use Windows 7 for most of my CHIRP development. I updated to the latest Python 2.7.x, installed PIP (I think it might have already been installed, it just wasn't in the PATH) and then installed "future". I believe that all seems good now. Thanks!
