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, XP or Vista (32-bit).
5-5. Programming software KPG-111D description
The KPG-111D is the programming software for the
transceiver supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs un-
der MS-Windows 2000, XP or Vista (32-bit) on a PC or com-
patible 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.
