Updated by Pavel Milanesover 2 years agoĪttached is the portmon log with full hex support thanks to David KG7ZMX, I will process it on the coming days and will come up with a alpha driver to test.įirst try to download a image for this radios.Īttached to this post is a developer driver, to try it you must follow this steps: The logs I have so far give good data but incomplete one.

Still, we need a complete serial log for a download & upload of the radio data users must follow the procedure described in to get a full log. With the OEM soft I can ID the hole family of models-versions to keep detection in the driver to full capabilities, but, that is a time consuming task for other day (BTDT, believe me it's a very boring task.)ħ3 Pavel CO7WT.

I'm downloading the service manuals now to get more insight about features, functions, models and versions of this radios, I noted they use the same model-version schema of Family 60G, the OEM software is on the queue also.

(to attract supporting users, FB?, QRZ?)Īll points that the family '80' radios are an upgrade to the family '60G' as more deep I go the more similarities I found. Some PR about support to this radio stating here will no harm. I'm making it remotely (no radio at hand) from logs and interaction with just ONE willing user that has not so much free time, so other owners of the TK-280/380 are invited to join this thread (yes the TK-380 is the same radio but for UHF) and help me with my questions, logs and testing. I hope it doesn't have any special trick, specially in the banks management, because the family 60G got me a few days thinking the mem banks logic.
That is good news! Thank you for your work, Pavel. Inspecting one image from the OEM software the mem organization are very similar to the ones in the Kenwood 60G Family, chances are good, I will come up with a testing develop driver soon (just to confirm that downloads are working)ħ3 Pavel CO7WT Updated by Tom Haywardover 2 years ago The serial handshake, the ID, the empty block flagging and whole download process are pretty much the same. Taking a peek and stating to build the skeleton of the new driver I can tell you that this radio is very similar to the Kenwood 60G family (TK-760G/TK272G and friends).

Instructions for getting the serial logs here: Users of the Kenwood TK-280: if you like your radio supported please upload some portmon logs to this issue as there are at least two know variants, but radios with options boards may present it self as specific sub variants so please report if your radio has an option board. Side note: I live in Cuba island, sending me a radio is not an option (yet), I must work remotely and some users must cooperate with me in the testing of this driver I have done that before, is hard work but works, the BTECH and brothers radios support for chirp was made this way with the great help and dedication of Jim Unroe. My goal is to make at least a successful download/upload script and parse the general channel data for this model (TK-280), my experience points that making support for one member of the family will make trivial to extend it to the rest of the family (that's how family 60/60G works and this seems like 'family 80'), then another developer can follow the lead and continue my work adding settings and options.īy looking to the OEM software the whole 'Family 80' could be supported after this basic driver is completed, that may cover all this models: TK-780/880/280/380/980/981/480/481įurther development (beyond upload/download and simple channel data) will be very unlikely from my side as I don't have a radio at reach to test and hack at this time. I'm working remotely with a willing user to get a serial log one of this radio (TK-280) and start the development of a basic Chirp's driver. Kenwood Kpg-49d Programing Software Downloads.
