TKR-85041. Modes 3-3. KPG-46 Description (PC Programming Inter-face Cable : Option)The KPG-46 is required to interface the TKR-850 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-46 connects the microphone connector of theTKR-850 to the computer’s RS-232C serial port.3-4. Programming Software DescriptionThe KPG-91D is the programming software for TKR-850supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC or compatiblemachine.The data can be input to or read from TKR-850 and editedon the screen. The programmed or edited data can beprinted out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.3-5.

PrefaceThe TKR-850 repeater is programmed by using a personalcomputer, programming interface and KPG-91D (ver 2.0 orlater) software.3-2. Connection Procedure1. Connect the TKR-850 to the personal computer with theinterface cable.2. When power is applied, the user mode is entered immedi-ately. When the PC sends a command, the repeater en-ters the PC mode and displays “PC” on the 7-segmentLED. When data is being transmitted to the PC from therepeater, the TX LED flashes. The BUSY LED flasheswhen data from the PC is being received by the repeater.Note :• The data stored in the personal computer must match themodel type, when it is written into the flash memory.• Change the TKR-850 to PC mode, then attach the inter-face cable.REALIGNMENTIBM-PCKPG-46KPG-91DTKR-850Fig. 14. Firmware Programming Mode4-1. PrefaceThe TKR-850 uses flash memory to allow it to be easilyupgraded when new features are released in the future.4-2. Connection ProcedureConnect the TKR-850 to the personal computer (IBM PCor compatible) with the interface cable (KPG-46). (Connectionis the same as in the PC mode.)Notes :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.
