2.2.6 Firmware Programming Mode
2.2.6.1 Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This allows the
transceiver to be upgrade when new features are released in the
future. (For details on how to obtain the firmware, contact Cus-
tomer Service.)
2.2.6.2 Connection procedure
Connect the transceiver to the personal computer using the pro-
gramming interface (KPG-36U/36X). (Connection is same as in
the PC mode.)
2.2.6.3 Programming
(1) Start up the firmware programming software (KENWOOD
Firmware Loader). The KFL.exe exists in the KPG-D1/D1N
installed holder.
(2) Set the baud rate to "auto" or 1152000, 576000, 115200,
and 57600.
(3) Set the firmware to be upgrade by file name item.
(4) Enter the Firmware programming mode by using section
"2.2.2 How to Enter Each Mode". Then, the yellow LED on
the transceiver light and "FIRMWARE PROG" is displayed.
(5) Check the connection between the transceiver and the per-
sonal computer, and make sure that the transceiver is in
the Program mode.
(6) Press "Write" button in the window. When the transceiver
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, re-
peat step (4) to (7).
Note:
If write is perfomed by KFL, Firmware programming
mode will start automatically even if Firmware program-
ming is set to disable in the programming software.
2.2.6.4 Function
If you press the [ ] key while "FIRMWARE PROG" is dis-
played, the checksum is calculated, and a result is displayed. If
you press the [ ] key again while checksum is displayed,
"FIRMWARE PROG" is redisplayed.
2.2.7 Clone Mode
Programming data can be transferred from one transceiver to an-
other by connecting them via their external universal connectors.

Front Panel Programming Password is set to the transceiv-
er, "Input Password" is displayed on the LCD.
If the password is not set, the transceiver displays "CLONE
MODE".
(2) When you enter the correct password, "CLONE MODE" is
