Tracker changed from Bug to New Model
Subject changed from Try to programmming tk 869 to Kenwood TK-859
Status changed from New to Feedback
Target version set to chirp-legacy
Equipment Loan/Gift Offered set to No

First: TK-859 or TK-869? Your original header said "tk 869", which I assume was wrong.

Second, the addition of a new radio to Chirp requires two things:
a) a volunteer developer who takes the task to work on this driver,
b) availability of test equipment, such as a loaner radio (see Rules For Loaning A Radio).
Unfortunately, you need to wait until both conditions have been met.
Or, you could decide to get your hands dirty yourself - check Wiki, "Developers".
