I'm running the daily build from 2014/02/16 and trying to connect my Kenwood TM-281 on Arch Linux. The radio is listed as supported on the Chirp homepage ("TM-271A/281A"), but when I try to connect I get the following errors:
When trying to autodetect a Kenwood from the USB port:
Trying ID at baud 9600 PC->RADIO: ID Timeout waiting for data D7->PC: ID TM-281 --- Exception Dialog: Unsupported model `TM-281' --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirpui/clone.py", line 170, in run cs.radio_class = detect.DETECT_FUNCTIONS[vendor](cs.port) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/detect.py", line 100, in detect_kenwoodlive_radio raise errors.RadioError("Unsupported model `%s'" % r_id) RadioError: Unsupported model `TM-281'
When telling Chirp that it's a TM-271 (since they're lumped on the homepage):
User selected Kenwood TM-271 on port /dev/ttyUSB0 Trying ID at baud 9600 PC->RADIO: ID D7->PC: ID TM-281 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 1357, in mh self.do_download(*args) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirpui/mainapp.py", line 637, in do_download radio = settings.radio_class(ser) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/kenwood_live.py", line 126, in __init__ self.MODEL)) Exception: Radio reports TM-281 (not TM-271)
Is there a way to get this radio working with Chirp? Somebody must have thought it worked at some point since it's on the homepage.
