Hi, all.
I'm wondering if there's been any work on Chirp for the Kenwood TS-2000 radio. I picked one up recently, and due to the general lack of decent software, I had a hard time getting it programmed the way I like it. I finally resorted to writing a VB program to import a CSV file from the HMK format output by my TM-V71 programming software.
Not long after I got this radio, I discovered Chirp, but I'm kind of surprised the TS-2000 isn't in Chirp's list of supported radios. On the bright side, my TM-V71 and my KG-UV3D are on the list, so if I can get the TS2K up and running, I could manage almost all of my radios from one program. (I also use an ICom IC-R6 receiver for t-hunting and general coverage monitoring.)
Does anyone else using this software also use a TS-2000? I'm wondering how much interest there might be in adding a module to program my radio. While I'm an experienced programmer, I don't know Python at all. However, programming the TS2K is pretty similar to other Kenwood radios - and the TM-V71 is already in the list.
If anyone can give me any tips on how to create a new data module based on the V71, I'd love to help expand the range of what Chirp can do.
Thanks
-Tom
