Description

I have Kenwood TK-862 (NOT G) and getting "Error setting memory: Frequency requires 12.50kHz step" when I go to program frequencies. I am entering frequencies used on the radios before so I know they are a supported step value. Any idea?

**Using CHIRP because the Kenwood software(KPG-29D) only runs on DOS.

Thanks

Hi Mike. I run into the same issue trying to program a Tk-860. There were some other issues as well, but I did kludge a fix for the 12.5 thing. Only go three decimal places instead of the four. I've confirmed Chirp will take the tree and the radios seem to be okay with that. I'm guessing it's close enough to get through.

I haven't done any distance testing yet, but I'm using the Tk-860 as part of a complex repeater. For the short haul it is working. We'll see as I separate the distances.

I hope this helps.

The list of supported step values are not included in this radio's driver. When they are not listed, CHIRP uses a default step list that does not include the 6.25 or 12.5 steps. Do either of you know what the supported step values are for this radio?

Hi all
I do believe that the 768, 862, and similar are 12,5 steps.

One other thing that I am in South Africa IARU Region 1 UHF and the Frequency allocation for our UHF
starts at 430 Mhz and ends at 440 Mhz.

I know it needs the 12.5 step added. But I am looking for the complete list of valid steps supported by the radio. Maybe it is listed in the Kenwood programming software?

What I need is a CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file so I can use it for testing. I have the coding done. I am unable to proceed due to a lack of being able to test.

David, Mike and Steve,

Would one (or all) of you please download from your radio, save it as a native CHIRP Radio Images (*.img) file and attach it to this issue so I can run tests on my patch.

I think I can resolve this with the information that I was provided and used for the "G" models.

  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

A patch has been submitted that adds the missing valid_tuning_steps list to support 6.25 KHz and 12.50 KHz steps.

A temporary test driver module has been added to this issue. It can be loaded while CHIRP has "Enable Developer Mode" enabled so the added steps can be used while waiting for the patches to be approved and added to the CHIRP daily build.

Note: You must left-click the file and then click "Download" on the page that loads. Do not right-click to download.
