5. PC Mode
5-1. Preface
The transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, programming interface (KPG-36/36A), USB adapter
(KCT-53U) and programming software (KPG-95DG).
The programming software can be used with a PC. Fig-
ure 1 shows the setup of a PC for programming.

5-2. Connection procedure
1. Connect the transceiver to the computer using the inter-
face cable and USB adapter (When the interface cable is
KPG-36A, the KCT-53U can be used.).
Note:
• You must install the KCT-53U driver in the computer to
use the USB adapter (KCT-53U).
• When using the USB adapter (KCT-53U) for the fi rst time,
plug the KCT-53U into a USB port on the computer with
the computer power ON.
2. When the POWER switch on, user mode can be entered
immediately. When PC sends command the transceiv-
erenter PC mode, and “PROGRAM” is displayed on the
LCD. When data transmitting from transceiver, the red
LED is lights.
When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED is
lights.
Note:
• The text message are displayed for K2, K3 and K7 mod-
els only.
• The data stored in the computer must match the “Model
Name and Market Code” when it is written into the fl ash
memory.
5-3. KPG-36/KPG-36A description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-36/36A is required to interface the transceiver
to the computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (KPG-
36: 25-pin, KPG-36A: 9-pin) case that converts the RS-232C
logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-36/36A connects the universal connector of the
transceiver to the RS-232C serial port of the computer.
5-4. KCT-53U description (USB adapter: Option)
The KCT-53U is a cable which connects the KPG-36A to
a USB port on a computer.
When using the KCT-53U, install the supplied CD-ROM
(with driver software) in the computer. The KCT-53U driver
runs under Windows 2000, XP or Vista (32-bit).
5-5. Programming software KPG-95DG description
The KPG-95DG is the programming software for the
transceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs un-
der Windows 98, ME, Windows NT4.0, Windows 2000, XP
or Vista (32-bit) on a PC.
The data can be input to or read from the transceiver and
edited on the screen. The programmed or edited data can
be printed out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.
6. Firmware Programming Mode
6-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This al-
lows the transceiver to be upgraded when new features are
released in the future. (For details on how to obtain the fi rm-
ware, contact Customer Service.)
6-2. Connection procedure
Connect the transceiver to the personal computer using
the interface cable (KPG-36/36A) and USB adapter (KCT-53U:
when the interface cable is KPG-36A, the KCT-53U can be
used.). (Connection is the same as in the PC Mode.)
6-3. Programming
1. Start up the fi rmware programming software (Fpro.exe).
2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)
and communications port in the confi guration item.
3. Set the fi rmware to be updated by File name item.
4. Press and hold the [Side3] and [PTT] keys while turning
the transceiver power ON and then release the [Side3]
key fi rst. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver lights.
And the “PROGRAM FIRMWARE” is displayed for K2,
K3 and K7 models only.
5. Check the connection between the transceiver and the
personal computer, and make sure that the transceiver is
in the Program mode.
6. Press “write” button in the window. The orange LED
turns off while the firmware is being erased, and the
green LED turns on when the fi rmware data is being re-
ceived.
7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculated
and a result is displayed.
8. If you want to continue programming other transceivers,
repeat steps 4 to 7.
