3-1. Preface
The TK-8108H transceiver is programmed using a per-
sonal computer, a programming interface (KPG-46) and pro-
gramming software (KPG-70D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.

Function
For normal use.
Used for communication between the
radio and PC (IBM compatible).
Used to read and write frequency data
and other features to and from the radio.
Used to check the radio using the PC.
This feature is included in the FPU.
Used to tune the radio using the PC.
Used to transfer programming data from
one radio to another.
Operation

Received commands from PC
[1]+Power ON (Two seconds)
3-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the TK-8108H to the personal computer with the
interface cable.
2. When the Power is switched on, user mode can be en-
tered immediately. When the PC sends a command, the
radio enters PC mode.
When data is transmitted from transceiver, the red LED
blink.
When data is received by the transceiver, the green LED
blink.
In the PC mode, 4CH LEDs, [MON] LED and [●] LED are
turned on.
Notes :
• The data stored in the personal computer must match
model type when it is written into the EEPROM.
• Attach the interface cable, then change the TK-8108H to
PC mode.
3-3. KPG-46 Description
(PC programming interface cable : Option)
The KPG-46 is required to interface the TK-8108H to 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-46 connects the modular microphone jack of the
TK-8108H to the computers RS-232C serial port.

3-4. Programming Software Description
The KPG-70D programming disk is supplied in 3-1/2" disk
format. The software on this disk allows a user to program
TK-8108H radio via a programming interface cable (KPG-46).
3-5. Programming With IBM PC
If data is transferred to the transceiver from an IBM PC
with the KPG-70D, the destination data (basic radio informa-
tion) for each set can be modified.
