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-112D description
The KPG-112D is the programming software for the
transceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs un-
der MS-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 rmware, 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
(ver. 4.0 or later)). The Fpro.exe exists in the KPG-112D
installed holder.
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 [ ] key while turning the transceiver
power ON. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver
lights and "PROGRAM 115200" is displayed.
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. When the trans-
ceiver starts to receive data, the [LOADING] display
lights.
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.
REALIGNMENT
Note:
This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-
ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-

6-4. Function
1. If you press the [Side2] key while "PROGRAM 115200"
is displayed, the display changes to "PROGRAM 19200"
(The LED blinks green) to indicate that the write speed
is low speed (19200 bps). If you press the [Side2] key
again while "PROGRAM 19200" is displayed, the dis-
play changes to "PROGRAM 38400" (The LED lights
red and orange alternatively). If you press the [Side2]
key again while "PROGRAM 38400" is displayed, the
display changes to "PROGRAM 57600" (The LED blinks
orange). If you press the [Side2] key again while "PRO-
GRAM 57600" is displayed, the display returns to "PRO-
GRAM 115200" (The LED lights orange).
2. If you press the [Side1] key while "PROGRAM 115200"
is displayed, the checksum is calculated, and a result is
displayed. If you press the [Side1] key again while the
checksum is displayed, "PROGRAM 115200" is redis-
played.
