Issue #3475 has been updated by Yaron Oren-Pines.

Hi Pavel,

I would be happy to loan a Kenwood Radio in this family (Can loan TK-880 
and/or TK-981) to a local developer.

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (San Jose, California) and can be 
reached at k6yop at arrl.net

If you know of anyone local here, please put us in touch,

New Model #3475: Support for Kenwood: other Kenwood Radios that work in 
the HAM Bands

============================

 From my experience all Commercial Kenwoods are essentially the same 
inside, there are two drivers already in Chirp (tk760.py & tk760g.py) 
that can be used as templates.

A there is a third one under development here for the TK-790, I lack 
time right now an sending the radio to me is (yet) a hard task (I live 
in Cuba, customs, etc.)

Commercial Kenwoods are a *X because they use the same layout for 
different radios in the same family, the only thing you need is to 
acquire the IDs and band edges for the other members of the family and 
boom! you will have a driver that can handle a bunch of radios.

I can help but not lead the development, without the radio is a hard task.
