1  INTRODUCTION
================

KPG-38D software is a tool for programming TK-290 or TK-390 transceivers. 
Using this software, first enter programming data into the appropriate 
computer, then transfer the data to a transceiver.  You can print out that 
data from a printer.  You can also retrieve data from a transceiver to edit 
on the computer.   


***[SUPPLIED ITEMS]***

Your programming software package includes the followings:

* 2 floppy disks (3.5", 720 kB)
    KPG-38D PROGRAMMING DISK (program files)
    MANUAL DISK (help files)
* Installation sheet


***[APPLICABLE TRANSCEIVERS]***

This programming software supports the following transceivers:

TK-290 (VHF)
TK-390 (UHF)


***[HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS]***

< Computer >

The software was designed for use on IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and compatible 
computers with Conventional Memory capacity of at least 400 kB.

< Operating system (OS) >

The operating system must be IBM DOS Version 3.1 (or later) or equivalent.

< Communication port >

The computer must have a serial communication port to connect with a 
transceiver.  This port must be compatible with an IBM asynchronous 
communications adapter. You may use the COM1 or COM2 port on the computer.

< Connection cable >

Use a KPG-36 cable to connect the computer with the transceiver.



2  CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
=============================

1. Switch OFF the power to the computer.
2. Connect the 25-pin connector on the KPG-36 cable to the COM1 or COM2 
   port on the computer.  If the COM port has 9 pins, use a commercially 
   available 9-pin/25-pin adapter.
3. Switch ON the power to the computer.
4. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.
5. Connect the other end of the KPG-36 cable to the universal connector 
   on the transceiver.
6. Switch ON the power to the transceiver.


3   INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
=============================

After completing all physical connections, you are ready to install the 
programming software. 
The KPG-38D software requires a destination drive with 800kB free space.

***[INSTALLING ON A HARD DISK]***

This procedure assumes the hard disk is used as drive C.

1. Insert the "KPG-38D PROGRAMMING DISK" (source disk) into drive A.
2. Type "A:" then press [Enter].
   "A:\>" appears on the computer display.
3. Type "INSTALL C:" then press [Enter].
   The installation program copies the necessary files from the source disk 
   in drive A to the hard disk.


***[INSTALLING ON ANOTHER FLOPPY DISK]*** 

This procedure assumes the source drive as A, and the destination drive as 
B.

1. Insert the "KPG-38D PROGRAMMING DISK" (source disk) into drive A.
2. Insert a floppy disk (destination disk : 1.2MB or 1.44MB), that will 
   receive the software, into drive B.
3. Type "A:" then press [Enter].
   "A:\>" appears on the computer display.
4. Type "INSTALL B:" then press [Enter].
   The installation program copies the necessary files from the source 
   disk in drive A to the destination disk in drive B.

***[PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY]***

This section shows the logical process of five typical programming 
operations.

Note:  When data is transferred from the computer to the transceiver 
       (Program Write) or vice versa (Program Read), the transceiver 
       will automatically enter PC mode.  "-PC-" appears on the display.


**[CREATING AND WRITING NEW DATA TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Specify the transceiver model. (Model)
2. Input data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


**[MODIFYING DATA PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the desired data from the transceiver. (Program/Read from radio)
2. Modify the data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


**[MODIFYING DISK DATA, THEN WRITING TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the desired data from a disk. (File/Load)
2. Modify the data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


5  BASIC OPERATIONS
====================

***[STARTING THE PROGRAM]***

After correctly installing the software, you can now start the program and 
learn the methods for programming TK-290 or TK-390 transceivers.

1. Make the directory containing the installed programming software the 
   current directory.
   If you installed the software on a floppy disk, first insert the floppy 
   disk into a drive, then make that drive the current drive.
2. Type "KPG38D" then press [Enter].
   The program starts and the Introductory screen appears.  If an error 
   occurs, try reinstalling the program (see "3  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE").


***[EXITING THE PROGRAM]***

When you finished programming, close the program correctly rather than 
simply turning off the computer.

1. Press [Alt] to activate the Menu bar.
2. Press the right- or left-arrow key to open the File menu.
   Move the cursor to "eXit" using the up- or down-arrow key, then press 
   [Enter], or simply press the Quick key; the capitalized letter in this
   case "X".  Pressing [F3] also opens this window.
4. Select [Ok] using [SPACE BAR], or the right- or left-arrow key, then 
   press [Enter].  Alternatively, press the Quick key "O" if you prefer.  
   The program closes and the DOS prompt appears.
5. If running the program from a floppy disk, remove the disk from its 
   drive.
6. Switch OFF the power to the computer.
7. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.


***[INITIAL SCREEN]***

After starting the program, pressing any key clears the Introductory screen 
and opens the Initial screen.

The Initial screen consists of the following three sections:

* Menu bar (top)
* Channel Information window (center)
* Key summary (bottom)

< Menu bar >

The Menu bar contains the titles of available menus.  The menus are used to 
open windows to edit and/or process data, and to execute commands.

< System Information window >

The Channel Information window shows various Channel data currently set.

< Key summary >

The Key summary lists currently available keys.


***[SELECTING AND ENTERING DATA]***

You will select or enter data either while an interactive window is visible 
(prompted input) or while no interactive window is visible (non-prompted 
input).


**[PROMPTED INPUT]**

While using File, Model, Program, Setup, or some Edit menu functions, 
various interactive windows open to prompt you to select or enter 
appropriate data.  Use one of the following methods:

< Arrow keys >

Use the right-, left-, up-, or down-arrow key to select the appropriate 
item, then press [Enter].

< Quick keys >

Enter the capitalized letter to select the appropriate item.  For example, 
press "O" to select "[Ok]".  If you are using a color display, capitalized 
letters appear in a different color from other characters.   

< Keyboard >

Enter the appropriate data using the keyboard, then press [Enter].


**[NON-PROMPTED INPUT]**

When using some Edit menu functions, use one of the following methods to 
select data.

< [SPACE BAR]/ [Shift]+ [SPACE BAR] >

Press to cycle through available choices at the current cursor position.  
Pressing [SPACE BAR] changes selections in one direction; pressing [SHIFT]+ 
[SPACE BAR] changes selections in the opposite direction.

< [F2]/ [Shift]+ [F2] >

Press to cycle through available choices at the current cursor position.  
Pressing [F2] changes selections in one direction; pressing [Shift]+ [F2] 
changes selections in the opposite direction.  In the Key assignment 
window, pressing [F2] opens a list of programmable key functions.


6  USING THE MENU
==================

***[MENU OVERVIEW]***

The Menu bar is at the top of the Initial screen, above the Channel 
Information window.  There are six menu titles on the Menu bar.  To 
activate the Menu bar, press [Alt].  Use the right- or left-arrow key to 
select the desired menu title.  Press [Alt] or [Esc] to deactivate the Menu 
bar.

< File >
The File menu allows you to create, save, open, delete, and print data 
files, and to quit the program.

< Model >
The Model menu is used to specify the model of the transceiver to be 
programmed.

< Edit >
The Edit menu allows you to assign various functions to the desired keys on 
the transceiver, and to configure transceiver functions that are not 
programmed from the Channel Information window.

< Program >
The Program menu allows you to read data from and write data to flash 
memory or EEPROM in the transceiver.  This menu also allows 
you to access the Test mode or Firmware program.

< Setup >
The Setup menu allows you to select a communication port on the computer to 
connect with the transceiver via the KPG-36 cable.  Other configurable 
items include the color scheme for the screen as well as the drive and path 
name for access to the Help file.

< F1=Help >
The Help menu offers general and keyboard help.


***[MENU DETAILS]***

This section describes the menu items selectable under the menu titles and 
shows how to operate these menu items.  Use the Up- or Down-arrow key to 
select the desired menu item, then press [Enter], or simply use a quick key.
For the methods of selecting or entering data for each menu item, see "***
[SELECTING AND ENTERING DATA]***" in chapter 5.
