TK-5710 B
When data receiving to transceiver, the green LED is
lights.
Note:
The data stored in the personal computer must match
"Model Name and Market Code", when it is written into
the EEPROM and flash memory.

5-3. KPG-43 description

(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-43 is required to interface the transceiver to the
computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector (25-pin) case
that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-43 connects the microphone jack of the trans-
ceiver to the computers RS-232C serial port.

5-4. 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. PC Tuning Mode

When making adjustment while in PC tuning mode,
modify the KPG-43 programming interface cable as de-
scribed below.
1. Remove the two screws from the plug cover, then lift the
cover from the plug.
2. Solder the lead wire onto the MIC tab on the PCB, and
the ground wire onto the ME tab.

REALIGNMENT
3. Create a hole in the casing (as shown in the illustration)
then fit the cable into the hole. Replace the cover and
secure it using the two screws.

7. Firmware Programming Mode

7-1. 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.)
7-2. Connection procedure
Connect the transceiver to the personal computer (IBM
PC or compatible) with the interface cable (KPG-43). (Con-
nection is the same as in the PC Mode.)
7-3. 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 [PF2] key while turning the transceiver
power ON. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver lights
and "PROG 115200" is displayed.
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 is blinking.
7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculated
and a result is displayed.
8. If you want to continue programming other transceivers,
repeat steps 4 to 7.
Note:
This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-
ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming software.
7-4. Baud rate change
1. If you press the [PF4] key while "PROG 115200" is dis-
played, the display changes to "PROG 57600" (The LED
blinks orange). If you press the [PF4] key again while
"PROG 57600" is displayed, the display changes to "PROG
19200" (The LED blinks green) to indicate that the write
speed is low speed (19200 bps). If you press the [PF4] key
again while "PROG 19200" is displayed, the display returns
to "PROG 115200" (The LED lights orange).
2. If you press the [PF5] key while "PROG 115200" is dis-
played, the checksum is calculated, and a result is dis-
played. If you press the [PF5] key again while the
checksum is displayed, "PROG 115200" is redisplayed.
Note:
Normally, write in the high-speed mode.
