I was heading out the door or I would have looked it up and included it. I have a TH-F6a here too.
Glad to hear that you got it working.

Well... I got a LOT farther than I was able to before. Someone else mentioned that the TH-F6A only operates in "live" mode, i.e. you can't clone the radio, edit the configuration, and then download it back to the radio. That appears to be correct also. That seems to me to be unfortunate, but it is perhaps a limitation of the radio itself and not of CHIRP.
I use Chirp with an F6A (and a couple Chinese radios) and unlike the others, the Kenwood operates in "live mode." Whether this is a feature or a handicap is debatable imo.
