TK-52104REALIGNMENT5. PC Mode5-1. PrefaceThe transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-puter, programming interface (KPG-36) and programmingsoftware (KPG-95D).The programming software can be used with an IBM PCor compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC forprogramming.5-2. Connection procedure1. Connect the transceiver to the personal computer withthe interface cable.2. When the POWER switch on, user mode can be enteredimmediately. When PC sends command the transceiverenter PC mode, and “PROGRAM” is displayed on theLCD.When data transmitting from transceiver, the red LED islights.When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED islights.Notes:• The text message are displayed for K2 and K3 modelsonly.• The data stored in the personal computer must match"Model Name and Market Code", when it is written intothe EEPROM and flash memory.5-3. KPG-36 description(PC programming interface cable: Option)The KPG-36 is required to interface the transceiver to thecomputer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (25-pin) casethat converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.The KPG-36 connects the universal connector of the trans-ceiver to the computers RS-232C serial port.5-4. Programming software KPG-95D descriptionThe KPG-95D is the programming software for the trans-ceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under MS-Windows 98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC orcompatible machine.The data can be input to or read from the transceiver andedited on the screen. The programmed or edited data can beprinted out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.6. Firmware Programming Mode6-1. PrefaceFlash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This allowsthe transceiver to be upgraded when new features are re-leased in the future. (For details on how to obtain the firm-ware, contact Customer Service.)6-2. Connection procedureConnect the transceiver to the personal computer (IBMPC or compatible) with the interface cable (KPG-36). (Con-nection is the same as in the PC Mode.)6-3. Programming1. Start up the firmware programming software (Fpro.exe).2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)and communications port in the configuration item.3. Set the firmware to be updated by File name item.4. Press and hold the [Side3] and [PTT] keys while turningthe transceiver power on and then release the [Side3] keyfirst. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver lights andthe baud rate is displayed as follows according to the posi-tion of the Concentric switch.A: PROGRAM 115200 bpsB: PROGRAM 57600 bpsC: PROGRAM 19200 bpsSince the baud rate is normally set to 115200 bps, changethe Concentric switch to "A".5. Check the connection between the transceiver and thepersonal computer, and make sure that the transceiver isin the Program mode.6. Press “write” button in the window. When the trans-ceiver starts to receive data, the [PG] display lights.7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculatedand a result is displayed.8. If you want to continue programming other transceivers,repeat steps 4 to 7.Notes:• This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming software.• The text message are displayed for K2 and K3 modelsonly.6-4. Baud rate change1. Change baud rate by changing the Concentric switch posi-tion. The baud rates are assigned to positions of the Con-centric switch as follows:A: PROGRAM 115200 bpsB: PROGRAM 57600 bpsC: PROGRAM 19200 bps2. If you press the [Side1] switch (top of left side) while thebaud rate (such as “PROGRAM 115200 bps") is displayed,the checksum is calculated, and a result is displayed. Ifyou press the [Side1] switch again while the checksum isdisplayed, the baud rate (such as “PROGRAM 115200bps") is redisplayed.Notes:• Normally, write in the high-speed mode.• The text message are displayed for K2 and K3 modelsonly.Fig. 1IBM-PCKPG-36KPG-95D
