REALIGNMENT
8. If you want to continue programming other TK-380 s, repeat
steps 4 to 7.
Notes:
●
This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Programming
mode is set to Disable in the Programming software (KPG-
60D).
●
When programming the firmware, it is recommend to copy
the data from the floppy disk to your hard disk before update
the radio firmware.
Directry copying from the floppy disk to the radio may not
work because the access speed is too slow.
6-4. Function
1. If you press the [MON] switch (top of left side) while "PROG
57600" is displayed, the version is displayed. If you press
the [MON] switch again while the version is displayed,
"PROG 57600" is redisplayed.
2. If you press the [CALL] switch (bottom of left side) while
"PROG 57600" is displayed, the display changes to "PROG
19200" to indicate that the write speed is low speed (19200
bps). If you press the [CALL] switch again while "PROG
19200" is displayed, the display changes to "PROG 38400",
and the write speed becomes the middle-speed mode
(38400 bps). If you press the [CALL] switch again while
"PROG 38400" is displayed, the display returns to "PROG
57600".
3. If you press the [CALL] switch while the version is displayed,
the checksum is displayed. If you press the [CALL] switch
again while the checksum is displayed, the version is
redisplayed.
Note:
Normally, write in the high-speed mode.
7. Clone Mode
Programming data can be transferred from one radio to
another by connecting them via their external universal
connectors. The operation is as follows (the transmit radio is
the master and the receive radio is a slave).
1. Turn the master TK-380 power ON with the [D] key held
down. If the Data password is set to the TK-380, the TK-
380 displays "CLONE LOCK". If the password is not set,
the TK-380 displays "CLONE MODE".
2. When you enter the correct password, and "CLONE MODE"
is displayed, the TK-380 can be used as the cloning master.
The following describes how to enter the password.
5-5. Programming with IBM PC
If data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PC with
the KPG-60D, the destination data (basic radio information)
for each set can be modified. Normally, it is not necessary to
modify the destination data because their values are
determined automatically when the frequency range (frequency
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 universal connector.

6. Firmware Programming Mode
6-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the TK-380. This allows the
TK-380 to be upgraded when new features are released in the
future. (For details on how to obtain the firmware, contact
Customer Service.)
6-2. Connection procedure
Connect the TK-380 to the personal computer (IBM PC or
compatible) with the interface cable (KPG-36). (Connection is
the same as in the PC Mode.)
6-3. Programming
1. Start up the firmware 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-380 power ON with the [A] switch held down.
Hold the switch down until the display changes to "PROG
57600". When "PROG 57600" appears, release your finger
from the switch.
5. Check the connection between the TK-380 and the personal
computer, and make sure that the TK-380 Is in the Program
mode.
6. Press write button in the window. A window opens on the
display to indicate progress of writing. When the TK-380
starts to receive data. the [P] icon is blinking.
7. If writing ends successfully. the LED on the TK-380 lights
and the checksum is displayed.
