<p>Hi to all,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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; by
looking to the OEM software the whole family could be:<br>
<br>
TK-780/880/280/380/980/981/480/481<br>
<br>
Further 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.<br>
</p>
<p><b>Side note:</b> 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 of Jim
Unroe.<br>
<br>
Users of the Kenwood TK-280: if you like your radio supported
please upload some portmon logs to the below issue (link),
instructions for doing that here:

<p>The main thread/issue of the development will be this:
