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' ---

raise errors.RadioError("Unsupported model `%s'" % r_id)

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

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.
