TK-715065-5. Programming With IBM PCIf data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PCwith the KPG-79D, the destination data (basic radio informa-tion) for each set can be modified. Normally, it is not neces-sary to modify the destination data because their values aredetermined automatically when the frequency range (fre-quency type) is set.The values should be modified only if necessary.Data can be programmed into the flash memory in RS-232C format via the modular microphone jack.KPG-79D instruction manual parts No. : B62-1588-XX.6. Firmware Programming Mode6-1. PrefaceThe TK-7150 uses flash memory to allow it to be easilyupgraded when new features are released in the future.6-2. Connection ProcedureConnect the TK-7150 to the personal computer (IBM PC orcompatible) with the interface cable (KPG-46). (Connection isthe same as in the PC mode.)Note :You can only program firmware from the 8-pin micro-phone connector on the front panel. Using the 25-pin logicinterface on the rear panel will not work.6-3. Programming1. Start up the programming software (Fpro. exe).2. Set the communications speed (normally, 57600 bps) andcommunications port in the configuration item.3. Set the firmware to be updated by file name item.4. Turn ON the transceiver while pressing and holding the[PF2] key. The transceiver enters Firmware programmingmode and “PROG 57600”. If Firmware programmingmode is inhibited by the FPU, the transceiver enters Usermode instead.If the transceiver receives the firmware data from a PC,“PG” appears on the display.5. Check the connection between the TK-7150 and the per-sonal computer, and make sure that the TK-7150 is in theprogram mode.6. Press write button in the window. A window opens onthe display to indicate progress of writing.7. If writing ends successfully, the TX LED on the TK-7150lights.8. If you want to continue programming other TK-7150, re-peat steps 3 to 6.Note :This mode cannot entered if the firmware programmingmode is set to disable in the programming software (KPG-79D).6-4. FunctionEach time you press the [PF4] key, the data transfer ratealters (19200 / 38400 / 57600 bps).Note :Normally, write in the high-speed mode (57600 bps).7. Clone ModeProgramming data can be transferred from one radio toanother by connecting them via their modular microphonejacks. The operation is as follows (the transmit radio is themaster and the receive radio is a slave).1. Turn the master TK-7150 power ON with the [PF6] keyheld down. The TK-7150 displays “CLONE”.If Firmware programming mode is inhibited by the FPU,the transceiver enters User mode instead.2. Power on the slave TK-7150.3. Connect the cloning cable (No. E30-3382-05) to the modu-lar microphone jacks on the master and slave.4. Press the [PF6] key on the master while the master dis-plays “CLONE”. The data of the master is sent to theslave. While the slave is receiving the data, “PROGRAM”is displayed. When cloning of data is completed, the mas-ter displays “END”, and the slave automatically operatesin the User mode. The slave can then be operated by thesame program as the master.5. The other slave can be continuously cloned. When the[PF6] key on the master is pressed while the master dis-plays “END”, the master displays “CLONE”. Carry outthe operation in steps 2 to 4.6. To end cloning, first you must remove the cloning cable,then switch both master and slave TK-7150s off.Note :Only the same models can be cloned together.PROG 57600[PF4]PROG 19200[PF4]PROG 38400[PF4]8. Firmware Version InformationThis is a mode to confirm the internal firmware version.1. Turn the transceiver ON while pressing the [PF3] key.The firmware version will appear on the LCD.When you release the [PF3] key, the transceiver automati-cally enters User mode.Fig. 2Fig. 3Cloning cable(E30-3382-05)REALIGNMENTPROG 57600[PF5]SUM=[****][PF4]Firmware checksum display
