13. Transceiver Information Mode
Use this function to confirm the transceiver firmware
version.
1. Press and hold the [S] and [B] keys while turning the
transceiver power ON.
2. The transceiver fi rmware version appears on the LCD.
3. Use the [ ] and [ ] keys to select the confirmation
items.
4. To exit the transceiver information mode, turn the trans-
ceiver power OFF.
14. KCH-16 Firmware Programming Mode
14-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the KCH-16.
This allows the KCH-16 to be upgraded when new fea-
tures are released in the future. (For details on how to ob-
tain the fi rmware, contact Customer Service.)
14-2. Connection procedure
Connect the same way as described in "6-2. Connection
procedure" on page 7.
14-3. Programming
1. Start up the fi rmware programming software (Fpro.exe
(ver. 3.06a or later)): the Fpro.exe software is in the in-
stalled KPG-95D (ver. 5.30 or later) folder.
2. Set the communications speed (19200 bps) and commu-
nications port in the confi guration item.
3. Set the fi rmware to be updated by File name item.
4. Press and hold the [ ] and [ ] keys while turning the
KCH-16 power ON. Then, the green LED on the KCH-16
blinks and "PROG 19200 H" is displayed.

Completion
5. Check the connection between the transceiver, the
KRK-11 (Interface box), the KRK-11 (Panel assembly) and
the personal computer, and make sure that the KCH-16
is in the Program mode.
6. Press the "write" button in the window. When the
KCH-16 starts to receive data, the [PG] display blinks.
7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculated
and a result is displayed.
8. If you want to continue programming other KCH-16, re-
peat steps 4 to 7.
Notes:
• Before entering KCH-16 Firmware programming mode,
be sure to set the Firmware Programming Mode of the
FPU to "enable", in order to correctly rewrite the fi rm-
ware update.
• The baud rate of the KCH-16 Firmware programming
mode is fixed at 19200bps. This baud rate cannot be
changed.
• In order to enter KCH-16 Firmware programming mode,
you must use the key operations of the KCH-16.
• The side set to KCH-16 Firmware programming mode
becomes effective when used with two KCH-16's (Dual
head).
* It is necessary to perform modifi cation of "2-4. Modi-
fi cation of the KCH-16 (Head 2 side)" described on page
16 if you use the KCH-16 on the Head 2 side.
• When the Firmware of the transceiver is transferred
from Fpro in the KCH-16 Firmware programming mode,
ensure that the Firmware of the transceiver is rewritten
(the baud rate of the transceiver fi rmware matches the
baud rate of the KCH-16 fi rmware).
• In the Dual head configuration, when rewriting the
KCH-16 fi rmware with the Head in one side, It is not ab-
normal operation though the display of the Head (KCH-14,
KCH-15 or KCH-16) on the other side may become
strange.
14-4. Function
1. If you press the [Orange] key while "PROG 19200 H" is
displayed, the checksum is calculated, and a result is dis-
played on the KCH-16.
If you press the [Orange] key again while the checksum
is displayed, "PROG 19200 H" is redisplayed.
