(No.RA020)1-72.2.5.2 Connection procedure(1) Connects the transceiver to the computer using the inter-face cable (KPG-46U/46X).Note:You must install the KPG-46U/46X driver in the comput-er to use the USB programming interface cable (KPG-46U/46X).(2) When the POWER switch on, user mode can be enteredimmediately. When PC sends command the transceiverenter PC mode, and “PROGRAM” is displayed on the LCD.When data transmitting from the transceiver, the red LEDlights.When data receiving to the transceiver, the green LEDlights.Note:The data stored in the computer must match the “ModelName” when it is written into the flash memory.2.2.5.3 KPG-46U/46X description (USB programming in-terface cable: Option)The KPG-46U/46X is a cable which connects to a USB port on acomputer.When using the KPG-46U/46X, install the supplied CD (with driv-er software) in the computer. The KPG-46U driver runs underWindows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1.The KPG-46X driver runs under Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 8.1.The latest version of the USB driver is available for downloadfrom the following URL:http://www.kenwood.com/usb-com/(This URL may change without notice.)2.2.5.4 Programming software KPG-D1/D1N (Ver. 1.60 orlater) descriptionThe FPU is the programming software for the transceiver sup-plied on a CD. This software runs under Windows Vista, 7, 8 or8.1 on a PC.The data can be input to or read from the transceiver and editedon the screen.Note:KPG-D1N can't be used for E type.2.2.6 Firmware Programming Mode2.2.6.1 PrefaceFlash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This allows thetransceiver to be upgrade when new features are released in thefuture. (For details on how to obtain the firmware, contact Cus-tomer Service.)2.2.6.2 Connection procedureConnect the transceiver to the personal computer using the pro-gramming interface (KPG-46U/46X). (Connection is same as inthe PC mode.)2.2.6.3 Programming(1) Start up the firmware programming software (KENWOODFirmware Loader). The KFL.exe exists in the KPG-D1/D1Ninstalled folder.(2) Set the baud rate to "auto" or 1152000, 576000, 115200,and 57600.(3) Set the firmware to be upgrade by file name item.(4) Enter the Firmware programming mode by using section“2.2.2 How to Enter Each Mode”. Then, the yellow LED onthe transceiver light and "FIRMWARE PROG" is displayed.(5) Check the connection between the transceiver and the per-sonal computer, and make sure that the transceiver is inthe Program mode.(6) Press “Write” button in the window. When the transceiverstarts to receive data, the “LOADING” display lights.(7) If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculatedand a result is displayed.(8) If you want to continue programming other transceivers, re-peat step (4) to (7).Note:If write is perfomed by KFL, Firmware programmingmode will start automatically even if Firmware program-ming is set to disable in the programming software.2.2.6.4 FunctionIf you press the [ ] key while “FIRMWARE PROG” is dis-played, the checksum is calculated, and a result is displayed. Ifyou press the [ ] key again while checksum is displayed,“FIRMWARE PROG” is redisplayed.2.2.7 Clone ModeProgramming data can be transferred from one transceiver to an-other by connecting them via their modular microphone jacks.The operation is as follows.The following data cannot be cloned.• Tuning data• Embedded message with password• ESN (Electronic Serial Number) dataKey guide on the Clone/ Front Panel Programming Pass-word input screen.• Confirm ([ ] key): The password confirmation• Delete ([ ] key): Delete the latest digit from the currentpassword number (Press and hold to delete all passwordnumbers)• Select([ ] key): Determine the latest digit of the passwordnumber.(1) In the source transceiver, enter the clone mode by usingsection “2.2.2 How to Enter Each Mode”. When the Clone/Front Panel Programming Password is set to the transceiv-er, "Input Password" is displayed on the LCD.If the password is not set, the transceiver displays "CLONEMODE".(2) When you enter the correct password, “CLONE MODE” isdisplayed, the transceiver can be used as the cloningsource. The following describes how to enter the pass-word.(3)- How to enter the password using the MIC keypad;If one of the keys 0 to 9 is pressed while the “Input Pass-word” is displayed, the password number is displayed onthe LCD.Each press of the key shifts the display in order to theleft.When you enter the password and press [ ] or [*] key,“CLONE MODE” displayed if the entered password iscorrect. If password is incorrect, “Input Password” is re-displayed.
