An updated version of the KT8900 is to be released in about 5 days.

I see a comment that the KT-8900 "is not" chirp compatible.
Is that a current status or a forever status?

Unfortunately the current software is M$ compatible, but CHIRP will bridge that gap. Looking forward to the release if it is to be.
