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):

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"
