Description

Hi there,

I changed the Kenwood-live code a bit to accept the TS-590 (ID021) instead of TS_2000 (ID019).
It can read 1 memory channel, I'm unable to read/configure more.

However it does program it when I check it.

Maybe you can add it to the support list? As the TS-2000 and TS-590 are basically the same except the TS-590 doesn't go above 52MHz.

Code I changed/used to read the radio

            # TS-2000
            if "ID019" == resp:
                LAST_BAUD = i
                return "TS-2000"

            # TS-590
            if "ID021" == resp:
                LAST_BAUD = i
                return "TS-2000"

Thanks,

Bas - ON2HB

Correction, it can program all memories but they have to be programmed in the TS-590 first, after that Chirp can take over and program them all.
If you don't do that they will show error and can't be set.

Most of the Kenwood are very similar, so this doesn't surprise me. Keep working on it and when you have a way to flawlessly read and write channels, we will add it to Chirp.

I'm sorry I'm not a programmer, just saw the ID in the log as being unknown then searched for the file that contained it and added a bit to get it recognised.
The programming of the memory works without problems once the memory has been programmed before.
It only reads and writes previous programmed memory channels, however, it does work fine.
So if people programmed the memory before, no matter what it contains, Chirp will work fine.

The log is showing this when a memory isn't programmed previously:

Looks to me it's reading the empty memories perfectly but then thinks the value is wrong.
I hope it helps you to fix it, as for the TS-590 (and simmular) Chrip would be a perfect tool to use memory.
I never used memory before as it's too hard to program with a name in it and I do not run Windows.

Thanks, Bas - ON2HB.
