17TK-780REALIGNMENT5-5. Programming With IBM PCIf data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PCwith the KPG-60D, 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-60D instruction manual parts No. : B62-1315-XX.6. Firmware Programming Mode6-1. PrefaceFlash memory is mounted on the TK-780. This allows theTK-780 to be upgraded when new features are released inthe future. (For details on how to obtain the firmware, con-tact Customer Service.)6-2. Connection ProcedureConnect the TK-780 to the personal computer (IBM PC orcompatible) with the interface cable (KPG-46). (Connectionis the same as in the PC Mode.)6-3. Programming1. Start up the programming software (Fpro. exe).2. Set the communications speed (normally, 57600 bps)and communications port in the configuration item.3. Set the firmware to be updated by File name item.4. Turn the TK-780 Power ON with the [A] switch helddown. Hold the switch down until the display changes to“PROG 57600”. When “PROG 57600” appears, releaseyour finger from the switch.5. Check the connection between the TK-780 and the per-sonal computer, and make sure that the TK-780 is in theProgram mode.6. Press write button in the window. A window opens onthe display to indicate progress of writing. When the TK-780 starts to receive data, the [P] icon is blinking.7. If writing ends successfully, the LED on the TK-780 lightsand the checksum is displayed.8. If you want to continue programming other TK-780, re-peat steps 4 to 7.Notes :• This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware program-ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-ware (KPG-60D).• When programming the firmware, it is recommend tocopy the data from the floppy disk to your hard disk be-fore update the radio firmware.Directly copying from the floppy disk to the radio may notwork because the access speed is too slow.6-4. Function1. If you press the [] switch while “PROG 57600” is dis-played, the version is displayed. If you press the []switch again while the version is displayed, “PROG57600” is redisplayed.2. If you press the [D] switch while “PROG 57600” is dis-played, the display changes to “PROG 19200” to indicatethat the write speed is low speed (19200 bps). If youpress the [D] switch again while “PROG 19200” is dis-played, the display changes to “PROG 38400”, and thewrite speed becomes the middle speed (38400 bps). Ifyou press the [D] switch again while “PROG 38400” isdisplayed, the display returns to “PROG 57600”.3. If you press the [D] switch while the version is displayed,the checksum is displayed. If you press the [D] switchagain while the checksum is displayed, the version isredisplayed.Note :Normally, write in the high-speed mode.7. Self Programming ModeWrite mode for frequency data and signalling etc. Mainlyused by the person maintaining the user equipment.7-1. Enter to the Self Programming ModeDelete R614 (SELF, Figure 2) in the TX-RX unit (B/2) andturn the power switch on while pressing the [CALL] key.When enter the self programming mode, “SELF PROG” isdisplayed.Note :This mode (self programming mode) cannot be set whenit has been disabled with the KPG-60D.IC512IC511R614TX-RX unit (B/2) : Control sectionFoil sideFig. 2
