5. PC Mode
5-1. Preface
The transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, programming interface (KPG-36/36A), USB adapter
(KCT-53U) and programming software (KPG-95D).
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 transceiver to the computer using the inter-
face cable and USB adapter (When the interface cable is
KPG-36A, the KCT-53U can be used.).
Notes:
• 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 first time,
plug the KCT-53U into a USB port on the computer with
the computer power ON.
2. When the POWER switch on, user mode can be entered
immediately. When PC sends command the transceiver
enter PC mode, and "PROGRAM" is displayed on the LCD.
When data transmitting from transceiver, the red LED is lights.
When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED is lights.
Notes:
• The text message are displayed for K2, K3, K5 and K6 mod-
els only.
• The data stored in the computer must match the "Model
Name and Market Code" when it is written into the
EEPROM and flash memory.

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 or XP.
5-5. Programming software KPG-95D description
The KPG-95D is the programming software for the trans-
ceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under MS-
Windows 98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP 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.
6. Firmware Programming Mode
6-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This allows
the transceiver to be upgraded when new features are re-
leased in the future. (For details on how to obtain the firm-
ware, contact Customer Service.)
6-2. Connection procedure
Connect the transceiver to the personal computer (IBM
PC or compatible) 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 firmware programming software (Fpro.exe).
2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)
and communications port in the configuration item.
3. Set the firmware to be updated by File name item.
4. Press and hold the [Side3] and [PTT] keys while turning
the transceiver power ON and then release the [Side3] key
first. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver lights and
the baud rate is displayed as follows according to the posi-
tion of the Concentric switch.
A: PROGRAM 115200 bps
B: PROGRAM 57600 bps
C: PROGRAM 19200 bps
Since the baud rate is normally set to 115200 bps, change
the Concentric switch to "A".
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 [PG] display lights.
