TK-782
5. PC Mode
5-1. Preface
The TK-782 transceiver is programmed by using a personal
computer, a programming interface (KPG-46) and program-
ming software (KPG-77D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.
5-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the TK-782 to the personal computer with the
interface cable.
2. When the Power switch on, user mode can be entered
immediately. When PC sends command the radio enter
PC mode, and "PROGRAM" is dispalyed on the LCD.
When data transmitting from transceiver, the red LED is
blinking.
When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED is blink-
ing.
Notes :
! The data stored in the personal computer must match
model type when it is written into the flash memory.
! Change the TK-782 to PC mode, then attach the interface
cable.
5-3. KPG-46 Description
(PC programming interface cable : Option)
The KPG-46 is required to interface the TK-782 to the com-
puter. 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-782 to the computers RS-232C serial port.
5-4. Programming Software KPG-77D Description
The KPG-77D is the programming software for the trans-
ceiver supplied on two 3.5" floppy disks. This software runs
under MS-Windows 95 or 98 on an IBM-PC or compatible
machine.
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.
We recommend that install the KPG-77D for example to
hard disk first then use it.
5-5. Programming With IBM PC
If data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PC
with the KPG-77D, the destination data (basic radio informa-
tion) for each set can be modified. Normally, it is not neces-
sary to modify the destination data because their values are
determined automatically when the frequency range (fre-
quency 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 modular microphone jack.
