3-1. Preface
The TK-8100H transceiver is programmed using a per-
sonal computer, a programming interface (KPG-46) and pro-
gramming software (KPG-80D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.

3-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the TK-8100H to the personal computer with the
interface cable.
2. When the Power is switched on, user mode can be en-
tered immediately. When the PC sends a command, the
radio enters PC mode.
When data is transmitted from transceiver, the TX indica-
tor blink.
When data is received by the transceiver, the BUSY indi-
cator blink.
In the PC mode, " PC " is displayed on the LCD.
3-3. KPG-46 Description
(PC programming interface cable : Option)
The KPG-46 is required to interface the TK-8100H to 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-46 connects the modular microphone jack of the
TK-8100H to the computers RS-232C serial port.
3-4. Programming Software Description
KPG-80D is the programming software for TK-8100H sup-
plied on three 3.5" floppy diskettes. This software runs un-
der Windows 98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC or
compatible machine.
The data can be input to or read from TK-8100H and edited
on the screen. The programmed or edited data can be
printed out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.
4. Clone Mode
Programming data can be transferred from one radio to
another by connecting them via their modular microphone
jacks. The operation is as follows (the transmit radio is the
master and the receive radio is the slave).
Note :
Clone mode should be enabled.
1. Turn the master TK-8100H power ON with the [CH
DOWN] key held down (2 seconds), " CLONE " is dis-
played on the LCD.
2. Power on the slave TK-8100H.
3. Connect the cloning cable (No. E30-3382-05) to the modu-
lar microphone jacks on the master and slave.
4. Press the [MON] key on the master TK-8100H transceiver.
The data of the master is sent to the slave. While the
master is sending data, [TX] icon blinked. While the slave
is receiving the data, " –PC– " is displayed and [BUSY]
icon blinked. When cloning of data is completed, the mas-
ter display "END", and the master [TX] icon turned off,
and the slave automatically operates in the User mode.
The slave can then be operated by the same program as
the master.
5. The other slave can be continuously cloned. Carry out the
operation in step 2 to 4.
