<div dir="ltr">Hi JP, I don't know if this would help but the current version of CHIRP supports the Kewood TM V7. It might be worth trying to see if your programming cable will work with it.

The Kenwood had the chronic screen failure years ago that I had a weird hair to fix, and did with success! Now I want to update the programming. I found a functioning XP laptop and I've jumped through 10k hoops getting my modern Yaesu/ Prolific USB cable to talk to WInXP, but I got that to work finally (with a deeply buried legacy driver)... now I'm trying to install CHIRP on on the XP laptop so I can import my current .csv file and put it on the Kenwood. I get: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem" (it doesn't). I think a legacy version (2004'ish?) of CHIRP might be the thing, but I don't know where to find it on the CHIRP website.</div><div><br></div><div>Conversely, I have the ancient Kenwood MCP_V7 software successfully installed on the XP, but it doesn't seem to import anything at all. Not sure the point of software that only reads the radio without the ability to import data to upload, but whatever. If anyone knows how to get a .csv file into that it would get the job done just as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>JP.
