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-46A, 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 is switched on, user mode can be en-
tered immediately. When the PC sends a command, the
transceiver enters PC mode, and "PROGRAM" is dis-
played on the LCD.
When data is transmitting from the transceiver, the red
LED blinks.
When data is receiving by the transceiver, the green LED
blinks.
Note:
The data stored in the computer must match the "Model
Name" when it is written into the EEPROM.
5-3. KPG-46/KPG-46A description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-46/46A is required to interface the transceiver
to the computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (KPG-
46: 25-pin, KPG-46A: 9-pin) case that converts the RS-232C
logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-46/46A connects the 8-pin microphone connec-
tor of the transceiver to the RS-232C serial port of the com-
puter.
5-4. KCT-53U description (USB adapter: Option)
The KCT-53U is a cable which connects the KPG-46A 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. FPU (Programming Software) description

The FPU is the programming software for the transceiver
supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows
XP, Vista or 7 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. Clone Mode

Programming data can be transferred from one trans-
ceiver to another by connecting them via their modular
microphone jacks. The operation is as follows (the transmit
transceiver is the source and the receive transceiver is a tar-
get).
Note :
Clone mode should be enabled.
1. Turn the source transceiver power ON with the [
held down (1 second), "CLONE MODE" is displayed on
the LCD.
2. Power on the target transceiver.
3. Connect the cloning cable (No. E30-3382-05) to the mod-
ular microphone jacks on the source and target.
4. Press the [ ] key on the source transceiver.
The data of the source is sent to the target. While the
source is sending data, red LED blinked. While the tar-
get is receiving the data, "PROGRAM" is displayed and
green LED blinked. When cloning of data is completed,
the source displays "END", and the source red LED
turned off, and the target automatically operates in the
User mode. The target can then be operated by the
same program as the source.
5. The other target can be continuously cloned. Carry out
the operation in step 2 to 4.
