Yes, the Kenwood TM-281/TM-481 radios are supported (code is the same). I replicated the TM-271 code so that I could program my TM-471 after using chirp (successfully) to program my own TM-281's. My TM-471 works correctly with chirp so should work on all 271/281/471/481 models.

Choose the TM-271 radio in Chirp and get to programming your TM-281.

Good luck.

Download the last daily build and install it.  Chirp has an autodetect setting for Kenwood so try that first. If it doesn't work see if the TM-271 / TM-281. I don't have the latest build because it works ok with the radios  I use it for. You can also wait around here to see if one of the programmers who write for Chirp to tell you exactly  if the radio is supported.
