Bug #12044
openKenwood TK762HG Missing setting
0%
Description
Something feels off with the config on this radio, it is failing to right if I adjust perfectly normal values, and then other odd stuff I cannot fully reproduce is happening as well, like the TSQL only transmitting CTCSS but listening as if no CTCSS is applied. I am even getting wrrite errors if I modify it enough. Both the stock ebay config and the one I have loaded are in place below.
This was programmed using the 762G driver

Some of the front panel key mappings are wrong,
first I will list the chirp value then an = which is the actual button on the radio
A=MON
D/A = 〇
triangle up = A
triangle down = ⬤
MON = doesn't exist?
see https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1310818/Kenwood-Tk-760g-Series.html?page=11#manual for an image of the front panel.

I have done more digging with the OEM firmware on this radio, there is a setting missing from CHIRP called "off hook decode" which makes it so only CTCSS can break squelch.
I would suggest adding a tooltip once this option is added so people can understand its purpose.
I will include two chirp images, one with off hook disabled, and one with it enabled.
I have resolved all issues at this point, other than the one unexplained crash, which I will call a one-off issue and not worth tracing.

- Subject changed from Kenwood TK762HG - Programming inconsistenty to Kenwood TK762HG Missing setting
Most people familiar with commercial radios, especially kenwoods will know what "Off-hook decode" means. However, happy to add a tooltip of course.
Attached is a module you can try with LoadingTestModules that adds the new knob under basic settings. Please test and report and I'll push this fix for this week's build.
Excellent A/B image samples by the way. Thanks!
