[chirp_users] Has anyone successfully programmed a Kenwood TM-D700 with Chirp?
1) Has anyone successfully programmed a Kenwood TM-D700 with Chirp?
2) What cable did you use?
3) Does that cable connect to the 9-pin RS-232 on the radio, or the 6-pin mini DIN connector?
Thank you,
Rich Holtman KD9ANU
Rich, I have. You connect to the RS-232 port. You might need a gender changer if using a straight serial cable. If dealing with USB get a Kenwood specific cable with a FTDI chipset. The cable that RT Systems sells with there software works perfect all the time.

Thank you for relying Mike!
What does it take to get the D-700 to cooperate? I have a new USB-63 cable from RT Systems, downloaded the driver first (and successfully), but I cannot download any data from the DM-700. Com port is 8. When downloading from radio, when I click 'OK', nothing happens at all.
I don't know if this is a clue, but the second time I try to download, I get an error message "could not open port COM8: [Error 5] Access is denied."
It's not like I am inexperienced, I have programmed 2 HT's my Kenwood TM V71-A dual band mobile successfully in the past on this computer. Hoping to transfer those channels over through Chirp.
Any ideas of things to try?
Thanks again,

Rich...I just downloaded to CHIRP from my D700A. I connect my radio directly to a serial port at the back of my computer and when I start the download I set the model number to detect rather than D700.

Tom,
What com port did you use? I keep hearing a rumor that Kenwood doesn’t like com port numbers above 4.

Rich,
This might be a clue to a possible diagnostic test. Is it possible to configure your USB cable to use a lower serial port number, say something less than 4? And then give it a try? Good luck. I am no expert; just repeating superstitious chants and rituals. 73.

HI Everyone,
I believe you all are thinking in the right direction. With the help and guidance of Mike Rees, I changed the Com Port to COM1 and Chirp is now working fine. It is actually easy to change the COM port number in Windows. Plus I learned of Kenwood's software MCP700 (Memory Control Program) which handles various settings that Chirp does not address in the D700.
Thanks very much Mike for your time!
Best regards and 73,

The 'D700 also supports realtime control. If you have any communications issues, try a program that's supposed to give you realtime control - a hamlib based tool like flrig or this funky satellite program http://www.qsl.net/g6odt/sunsat.html Either should be able to talk to the radio. If they do (at least to the point of reading what freq you're on) you should be good to go on the hardware side.
The related TM-D7A also has a funky thing you can use under Linux http://www.qsl.net/ve7yjh/tkd7.html

Rich,
This might be a clue to a possible diagnostic test. Is it possible to configure your USB cable to use a lower serial port number, say something less than 4? And then give it a try? Good luck. I am no expert; just repeating superstitious chants and rituals. 73.

Tom,
What com port did you use? I keep hearing a rumor that Kenwood doesn’t like com port numbers above 4.

Rich...I just downloaded to CHIRP from my D700A. I connect my radio directly to a serial port at the back of my computer and when I start the download I set the model number to detect rather than D700.

Thank you for relying Mike!
What does it take to get the D-700 to cooperate? I have a new USB-63
cable from RT Systems, downloaded the driver first (and successfully), but I
cannot download any data from the DM-700. Com port is 8. When downloading
from radio, when I click 'OK', nothing happens at all.
I don't know if this is a clue, but the second time I try to download, I
get an error message "could not open port COM8: [Error 5] Access is denied."
It's not like I am inexperienced, I have programmed 2 HT's my Kenwood TM V71-A
dual band mobile successfully in the past on this computer. Hoping to transfer those
channels over through Chirp.
Any ideas of things to try?
Thanks again,

Rich,
I have. You connect to the RS-232 port. You might need a gender changer if using a straight serial cable. If dealing with USB get a Kenwood specific cable with a FTDI chipset. The cable that RT Systems sells with there software works perfect all the time.

Does that cable connect to the 9-pin RS-232 on the radio, or the 6-pin
mini DIN connector?

Rich,
Mike has the best option, in my humble opinion. I have about 40 HTs and there are a couple of them I use Chirp for and things work perfectly. I usually do prefer, though, to go to RT Systems and just get the cable and s/w. I'm out $40-50 bucks. The URL for your particular radio is here: https://www.rtsystemsinc.com/TM-D700-programming-software-and-USB-cable-s/18.... Your particular s/w plus cable costs $49 + p/h and possibly tax, depending on where you live.
I have never had a single problem with their software or cable. No jerry-rigging everything, hunting for a driver and trying to install lit into windows, or take a newer driver out and add an older one. I'm pretty computer savvy, but more in the area of testing and localization. I prefer not to mess with things and just order the dumb cable and s/w from RT Systems. I've tried the route before with trying to get a not quite so standard cable to work properly, or play around with drivers. I just go straight to someone who can help me get right to it. That's not to say it's bad to do it the other way, especially if you like a challenge. For my part, I just get frustrated. So RT Systems it is. I have bought about 20 of these sets in the past for all my handhelds. Good luck, whatever you decide either way! Take care. de Shon K6QT.

The 'D700 also supports realtime control. If you have any communications issues, try a program that's supposed to give you realtime control - a hamlib based tool like flrig or this funky satellite program http://www.qsl.net/g6odt/sunsat.html Either should be able to talk to the radio. If they do (at least to the point of reading what freq you're on) you should be good to go on the hardware side.
The related TM-D7A also has a funky thing you can use under Linux http://www.qsl.net/ve7yjh/tkd7.html

HI Everyone,
I believe you all are thinking in the right direction. With the help and guidance of Mike Rees, I changed the Com Port to COM1 and Chirp is now working fine. It is actually easy to change the COM port number in Windows. Plus I learned of Kenwood's software MCP700 (Memory Control Program) which handles various settings that Chirp does not address in the D700.
Thanks very much Mike for your time!
Best regards and 73,
