TM-281 read/write failure

Hello, I see the TM-281 is listed as supported and in the code comments it shows it is identical to the TM-271. Indeed if I connect to the radio using putty and send the ID command it returns TM-271. I am able to connect to the radio and read using Kenwoods MCP-1A software and I see the TX/RX lights on my serial adapter flash accordingly. Unfortunately this software is no longer being maintained. So I really would like to use CHIRP. I have proved out my cable connection by using the MCP-1A software. In CHIRP it doesn't seem even try sending data as my LEDs for TX/RX never light up when I hit connect. I noticed in the MCP1-A software that there is setting read from the radio with the name of "Data Speed" with two options: 1200bps and 9600bps. I have tried setting it to 9600bps and writing that to the radio and connecting with CHIRP and still no connection and not TX/RX lights. But I don't think this is the ultimate problem as I don't even see the TX light flash with CHIRP trying to send ID at the different speeds. I did notice in the debug log that it never tries 1200bps. It seems like CHIRP just isn't actually opening the serial port and writing to it. Also I noticed rts/cts is set to true but that should be false, I think. I'm not sure how to change that in chirp in the UI. Here is the debug log. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2025-05-11 20:29:59,543] chirp.logger - DEBUG: CHIRP next-20250509 on Win32 (Unknown 10.0:22000) (Python 3.10.8) [2025-05-11 20:29:59,623] chirp.wxui -

How to add a new radio model to Chirp?
by Thomas Bomm 09 May '25

Hi, the title says it all. Assuming I have a radio model, even from a manufacturer which is not yet added to Chirp, how can one request this and how should one support? Cheers, Thomas

UV-5R+Plus
by sentinelwolf70＠gmail.com 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

If this has been discussed before, I apologize for adding to the discussion. I have a UV-5R+Plus that isn't accepting my image when I upload it (cloned) to the radio. I've been successful with my old UV5R and new AR-5RM. I don't see the UV-5R+Plus in the radio drop-down. I've attempted the UV-5R, UV-5RH, UV-5X, and UV-5XP without success. Can anyone point me in the correct direction? Thank you so much for your assistance. Shawn
