4. PC Mode
4-1. Preface
The transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, a programming interface (KPG-22/22A, USB adapter
(KCT-53U)) and programming software (KPG-88D(M2)).
The programming software can be used with a PC. Fig-
ure 1 shows the setup of a PC for programming.
4-2. Connection Procedure
1. Connect the transceiver to the personal computer with
the interface cable and USB adapter (when the interface
cable is KPG-22A, the KCT-53U can be used.).
Notes:
• You must install the KCT-53U driver in the computer to
used the USB adapter (KCT-53U).
• When using the USB adapter (KCT-53U) for the fi rst time,
plug the KCT-53U into a USB port on the computer with
the computer power ON.
2. When the POWER is switched on, user mode can be en-
tered immediately. When the PC sends a command, the
transceiver enters PC mode.
When data is transmitting from the transceiver, the red
LED lights.
When data is received by the transceiver, the green LED
lights.
Notes :
• The data stored in the personal computer must match
Model Name when it is written into EEPROM.
• Change the transceiver to PC mode, then attach the in-
terface cable.
4-3. KPG-22/KPG-22A Description
(PC programming interface cable : Option)
The KPG-22/22A is required to interface the transceiver
with the computer. It has a circuit in its D-sub connector
(KPG-22: 25-pin, KPG-22A: 9-pin) case that converts the RS-
232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-22/22A connects the SP/MIC connector of the
transceiver to the RS-232C serial port of the computer.
4-4. KCT-53U Description (USB adapter : Option)
The KCT-53U is a cable which connects the KPG-22A 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 or XP.
