Have you tried factory software?

Thanks Nigel, I did the full reset from menu 99 as well as cycled the power, unplugged and replugged cables, restarted CHIRP, etc.  Nothing fixed it so far.  I'm baffled!!!

   You're right. I just tried it.   On my TM-271, it appears to be menu 17 on the radio settings. You might have to power cycle or reset the radio from menu 99.

   Hi Nigel:  
   Thanks for the reply.  I don't see a settings tab.  When I "download from radio" and try and click on the "Properties" tab there is no response.  I hope that would be an area where I could increase the number of channels to the specified 200 that is supposed to be available.  It's like the radio is stuck on alphanumeric mode.

    Is there a switch in the SETTINGS tab?

  Only 99 channels with Kenwood TM-281A 

   Hi All:   
   Been trying to use CHIRP to program my  Kenwood TM-281A.  This radio is specced for 200 channels but, according to literature, reverts to 100 channels when names are used.     
   When I download from the radio it only allows me 100 channels (0-99), even when I import a CSV file with the names deleted.  When I click on the memory range I am unable to go past 99 (upward arrow greyed out).   
   Is there a way to open up the memory to 200 channels?   
   Thanks!  _______________________________________________
