The Kenwood software is basically management, no way to upload download all memories. Jack W4GRJ

Jack, Kenwood offers its own software. I know the software is for management, but, as I've not started using it, I can't comment on programming ability. Forgive my ignorance. I just bought the TS-570S and have downloaded the Kenwood software for it. Not wanting to deal with USB-to-serial conversion, I'm awaiting a computer serial port expansion card. With a serial port -- which you may already have -- connecting the radio to the PC should be a slam-dunk. Search for the Kenwood software at Kenwood USA's website. Twice before, over the years, I've had a TS-570 (and once the TS-480), but never tried to link to a computer. Remember the old days before computers, when radios were only discrete component radios ?? Best of luck, Dave K1SIW

Thanks Drew, That is encouraging. I will wait before purchasing RTsystems until I give Chirp a try with the radio. Tnx, Jack

I am purchasing the TS-480 I want to find out if I should order RTsystems software.

Looks like I am able to read data from my TS-480HX, but I am not sure of the data-output differences between the TS-2000 and TS-480.

If it helps, the Icom IC-5100, IC-7100, and IC-7000 seem similar, but I haven't spent any time analyzing how to update the CHIRP profiles. I'd be happy to work offline with anyone who has experience working these out - I love CHIRP!
