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.
Really? This is an all-volunteer effort, so radios get added to CHIRP as people volunteer to loan their radios to a developer, or we come across a developer with a particular 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.
We have indoctrinated several folks successfully. Jump over to the chirp-devel list and we'll get you started. If the TS-2000 is like all the other Kenwood radios, adding support is as simple as creating a subclass, defining a few attributes and doing some testing.
Thanks!
