I have a couple of old Kenwood TK-762H transceivers. I see the issue on http://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/3139 but I seem to be having troubles. When I attempt to read from the radio using TK-762G it appears to read from the radio then dumps the error dialog *"An error has occurred: The radio doesn't accept program mode"*
ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 884, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 517, in do_download _open_radio(radio, status) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760g.py", line 478, in _open_radio raise errors.RadioError("The radio doesn't accept program mode") RadioError: The radio doesn't accept program mode
ERROR: ---------------- ERROR: Clone failed: The radio doesn't accept program mode ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: The radio doesn't accept program mode --- ERROR: None

If I attempt using TK-760 chirp attmpts to read and almost immediately dumps the error dialog saying *"An error has occurred Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries"* ERROR: ---------------------------- ERROR: -- Exception: -- ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run self.__radio.sync_in() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 411, in sync_in self._mmap = do_download(self) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 255, in do_download open_radio(radio) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/chirp/drivers/tk760.py", line 227, in open_radio raise errors.RadioError(msg) RadioError: Radio refuse to enter into program mode after a few tries
