Hi, all.<div><br></div><div>I recently discovered Chirp, and I am hoping to be able to customize it to work with my Kenwood TS-2000.</div><div><br></div><div>After writing a programmer for the TS-2000 in C#, I am starting to love Kenwood&#39;s communication protocol. There&#39;s no &quot;memory dump&quot; programming method here; the radio actually validates input and uses an actual command/response system for programming the machine.</div>


<div><br></div><div>The nice part is that you can program just what you need: setting one menu change or one memory slot is a cinch. On my Yaesus, it was all or nothing... on this rig, changing the PL tone of one channel without affecting anything else is simple.</div>


<div><br></div><div>So here&#39;s my situation: I am an experienced programmer. You talk to me about technical stuff and I follow right along. I&#39;ve already written a programmer for the TS2K, even though it doesn&#39;t have much of a UI.</div>


<div><br></div><div>However, I don&#39;t know Python - at all. I do know c and its descendants (C++, C#, Java, etc), VB (both VBA/VBScript and .Net), and enough php to get by... but I&#39;ve never set up a Python dev environment.</div>


<div><br></div><div>So is there a site where I can get the whirlwind tour on setting up a Windows box to use Python? Also, which source control tool will I need for downloading from the repository? </div><div><br></div><div>


Thanks for your help</div><div>-Tom</div><div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>Tom Wilson<br><a href="mailto:wilsontp@gmail.com" target="_blank">wilsontp@gmail.com</a><br><a href="tel:%28619%29940-6311" value="+16199406311" target="_blank">(619)940-6311</a> <br>
