3-1. Preface
The TK-3212/3217 transceivers are programmed using a
personal computer, a programming interface (KPG-22) and
programming software (KPG-100D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.
3-2. Connection procedure
1. Connect the TK-3212/3217 to the personal computer with
the interface cable.
2. When the POWER is switched on, user mode can be
entered immediately. When the PC sends a command,
the transceiver enters PC mode. In the PC mode,
"PROGRAM" is displayed on the LCD.

Notes:
• The data stored in the personal computer must match the
model type when it is written into the EEPROM.
• Change the TK-3212/3217 to PC mode, then attach the
interface cable.
3-3. KPG-22 description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-22 is required to interface the TK-3212/3217 with
the computer. It has a circuit in its D-subconnector (25-pin)
case that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-22 connects the SP/MIC connector of the TK-3212/
3217 to the computer's RS-232C serial port.
3-4. Programming software description
KPG-100D is the programming software for TK-3212/3217
supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows
98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC or compatible
machine.
The data can be input to or read from TK-3212/3217 and
edited on the screen. The programmed or edited data can be
printed out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.

4. Clone Mode
4-1. Outline
"Clone Mode" copies the transceiver data to another
transceiver.
The dealer can copy the transceiver data to another
transceiver even without the use of a personal computer.
4-2. Example
The transceiver can copy the programming data to one or
more transceivers via RF communication.
The clone master and clone slave/s must be in Clone mode.
