Bug #8765
closedKenwood TK 860G 12.5 KHz Not supported
100%
Description
Hi, I was wondering if the steps could be updated for the Kenwood TK-860G. I'm currently getting a 12.5 KHz not supported error when entering interstitial frequencies. The Kenwood service manual indicated the radio is capable of 2.5, 5, 6.25KHz and 1 MHz steps. This is from page 13 of the manual. I'll also attach and image from a radio with an interstitial frequency loaded for reference.
Thank you,
Josh

Hi Josh,
If I work on it, will you test it?

Josh,
Attached is a test driver module. Save to a convenient location. Do not right click to download. Left click and then click the "download" link on following web page that loads.
To use it enable the "Enable Developer Functions" setting in the "Help" menu list. This will add a "Load Module" choice in the "File" menu list. Click "Load Module" and then locate and load the test driver module. The CHIRP background will turn red to indicate that a test driver module is loaded.
This test driver module does not permanently change your CHIRP installation in any way. Once you close CHIRP and open it later, you will have to reload this test driver before you can add frequencies to a supported radio model requiring a 6.25 KHz step.
Let me know how it works for you or if you have any questions.

I just gave it a test. I'm still getting the Frequency requires 12.5KHz step warning.

OK. Give this one a try.

Success!
I was able to successfully program 12.5Khz spaced narrowband frequencies!
Thank you for making the update!

I had some issues submitting the patch today. I think I have sort of worked around the issue and hopefully have it submitted.
Once the patch that I submitted has been accepted and added to CHIRP, the daily build following acceptance will have the "valid_tuning_steps" support. Until then, just continue to use the test driver module.
