Description

After doing the driver for the Kenwood Serie/Family 60G models (a patch with it's support in on the devel queue now) this older model is a piece of cake.

I have one of this radios (TK-860) dusting around in a storage box, I recovered it and just started a driver, it's almost full functional now.

Just left the validation and identification of the other possible supported models, as per the docs and software this are the supported candidates:

VHF Mobile radios
TK-760(H)
TK-762(H)

UHF Mobile radios
TK-860(H)
TK-862(H)

Please not to be confused with the newer ending G models, this non "G" are the old models with only 32/2 channels, no banks, and easily recognized by it's black keys. (ending G models have white keys)

Some users report that the driver will fail to put the radio into program mode.

I have tested this and I can reproduce it, it occours more in windows than linux, I had make a patch and tested it. The program mode procedure now will try 5 times to put the radio into that mode before fail.

I have tested it and works ok; patch is on the queue to apply.

Cheers.
