• The data stored in the personal computer must match the
model type when it is written into the EEPROM.
• Change the TK-2168 to PC mode, then attach the interface
cable.
3-3. KPG-22 description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-22 is required to interface the TK-2168 with the
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-22 connects the SP/MIC connector of the TK-2168
to the computer's RS-232C serial port.
3-4. Programming software description
KPG-82D is the programming software for TK-2168
supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows
98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC or compatible
machine.
The data can be input to or read from TK-2168 and edited
on the screen. The programmed or edited data can be printed
out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.
