11TK-860G/862GREALIGNMENT5-4. Programming Software DescriptionThe KPG-56D programming disk is supplied in 3-1/2" diskformat. The software on this disk allows a user to programTK-860G/862G radio via a programming interface cable(KPG-46).5-5. Programming With IBM PCIf data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PCwith the KPG-56D, 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. Datacan be programmed into the flash memory in RS-232C for-mat via the modular microphone jack.6. Firmware Programming Mode6-1. PrefaceFlash memory is mounted on the TK-860G/862G. Thisallows the TK-860G/862G to be upgraded when new fea-tures are released in the future. (For details on how to ob-tain the firmware, contact Customer Service.)6-2. Connection ProcedureConnect the TK-860G/862G to the personal computer(IBM PC or compatible) with the interface cable (KPG-46).(Connection is the same as in the PC Mode.)6-3. Programming1. Start up the programming software (KPG-56D), select"firmware program" in the "Program" item, and press theReturn key on your personal computer. This starts up thefirmware programmer.2. The top screen is displayed. Press any key to advance tothe next screen.3. Set the communications speed (normally, 57600 bps)and communications port in the Setup item.4. Set the firmware to be updated by File select (=F1).5. Turn the TK-860G/862G Power ON with the [CH ]switch held down. Hold the switch down for two sec-onds until the display changes to "PROG 576", the BUSY/TX LED lights orange. When "PROG 576" appears, re-lease your finger from the switch.6. Check the connection between the TK-860G/862G andthe personal computer, and make sure that the TK-860G/862G is in Program mode.7. Press F10 on the personal computer. A window openson the display to indicate the writing progress. When theTK-860G/862G starts to receive data, the BUSY/TX LEDlights green.8. If writing ends successfully, the LED on the TK-860G/862G goes off and the checksum is displayed.(Since the TK-862G does not have a display, check thechecksum with the FPU (KPG-56D).)9. If you want to continue programming other TK-860G/862G, repeat steps 5 to 8.4. Check SumExecuting this function, "TUNING" apears on the displayof the TK-860G while calculation the check sum.When the calculation is completed, the display returns tonormal and PC displays the check sum of the radio.5. PC Mode5-1. PrefaceThe TK-860G/862G transceiver is programmed using apersonal computer, a programming interface (KPG-46) andprogramming software (KPG-56D).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 TK-860G/862G to the personal computerwith the interface cable.2. When the Power is switched on, user mode can be en-tered immediately. When the PC sends a command, theradio enters PC mode.When data is transmitted from transceiver, the red LEDblink.When data is received by the transceiver, the green LEDblink.Notes :• The data stored in the personal computer must matchmodel type when it is written into the flash memory.• Change the TK-860G/862G to PC mode, then attach theinterface cable.5-3. KPG-46 Description(PC programming interface cable : Option)The KPG-46 is required to interface the TK-860G/862G tothe computer. It has a circuit in its D-subconnector (25-pin)case that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.The KPG-46 connects the modular microphone jack ofthe TK-860G/862G to the computers RS-232C serial port.KPG-46IBM-PCKPG-56DTK-860G/862GFig. 1
