[chirp_users] TM-271a CAP/MARS modified
I have a Kenwood TM-271A that has been MARS/CAP modified to handle frequencies that are outside the Amateur Bands
The frequency is 15x.5625. and the Kenwood MCP-1A is able to resolve and program correctly however chirp template for this radio complains about the band and steps being in error :(
Is there a workaround to disable the test and enter the frequency as needed or is a update to the python required to address this ?
Thanks

the chirp module (kenwood_live.py) seems to only show support for 5khz steps. Can you confirm what the valid tuning steps are for this radio? I dont have the radio, but I could make a modification to the module for testing, and then have you test it out.

I have attached a test version of kenwood module (includes expanded steps). To use: 1. go to help, check enable developer functions 2. then go to file, load module and point to the attached kenwood_live.py module
Do your testing. You would need to reload this module each time you restart chirp during this testing process.

He says the Kenwood software will program 15x.5625 so the radio must be capable of the step he wants. Couldn't you get to .5625 by using 12.5 khz steps?
