Programming the Kenwood TK-x80 Series Base
To begin programming your TK-x80 series mobile for use with the Pyramid
Communications Model 2016 base modem, you will need to first create a new profile
using your KPG-49D programming software.
Radio Format
When programming the radio select trunking or conventional, make sure that you set the
Radio Format correctly upon creation of your new profile. See figure below.

Programming Optional Features
From the Edit pull down menu, select Optional Features. Depending on your
application, most of the parameters in the Optional Feature menu will be left at default.
Although this may be the case, in order to enable a data terminal interface you must
program Com 2 (Internal Port) as AUX Hook/PTT. This enables the external PTT from
the data terminal. See the figure below for more information.
