Handling Of Floppy Disks

Observe the following points when handling the provided floppy disks:

•	Never touch the magnetic surface of the floppy disks.

•	Keep magnets and magnetic objects away from the floppy disks.

•	Do not bend the floppy disks.

•	Do not place the floppy disks in dusty, wet, humid, dry, hot, nor cold areas.

•	Always insert the floppy disks back into the plastic cases after use.


Introduction

KPG-52D software is a tool for programming UBZ LH-14 transceiver. Using this software, first enter programming data into the appropriate computer, then transfer the data to the transceiver.  Data can also be retrieved from the transceiver to be edited on the computer.

SUPPLIED ITEMS

Programming software package include 1 floppy disk (3.5", 1.44 MB) with KPG-52D PROGRAMMING DISK (program files)

APPLICABLE TRANSCEIVERS

This programming software supports only UBZ LH-14 transceiver.

HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The operating system must be of IBM compatible with Windows 95/98.

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

Use a KPG-22 cable to connect the computer with the transceiver.


Connecting The Equipment

1.	Switch OFF the power to the computer.

2.	Connect the 25-pin connector on the KPG-22 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-22 cable to the universal connector on the transceiver.

6.	Switch ON the power to the transceiver.


Installing The Software

After completing all physical connections, you are ready to install the programming software.

The KPG-52D software requires a destination drive with 1MB free space.

1.	All the files provided in the floppy disk need to be copied to the same desired Folder in the hard drive.

2.	"KPG-52D.exe" is the main application. Double click this file to run the program.


Program Overview

PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY

This section explains the logical process of three typical programming operations.

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

•	CREATING AND WRITING NEW DATA TO A TRANSCEIVER

1. 	Input desired data to the Main Application Window. Note: For writing the desired frequency data on the Main Application Window, each data entered, need to be followed by [Enter] key for confirmation

2. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)

3. Save the data to a disk. (File/Save or Save As)

•	MODIFYING DATA PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN TO A TRANSCEIVER

1. Read the data from the transceiver. (Program/Read from radio)

2. Modify the data.

3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)

4. Save the data to a disk. (File/Save or Save As)

•	MODIFYING DISK DATA, THEN WRITING TO A TRANSCEIVER

1. Read the desired data from a disk. (File/Open)

2. Modify the data.

3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)

4. Save the data to a disk. (File/Save or Save As)


Basic Operations

STARTING THE PROGRAM

After installing the software correctly, the program can be executed in order to learn the programming method of UBZ LH-14 transceiver.

1.	Go the Folder containing the programming software with the Windows Explorer. If the program is in the floppy disk, go to the floppy disk instead.

2.	Double click on "KPG-52D.exe" to run the program.

EXITING THE PROGRAM

When programming completed, close the program appropriately rather than simply shutting down the computer.

1.	The program can be terminated simply by clicking on the Exit button or the Close button situated at the top right hand corner of the application.

2.	The following Message Box will be prompted for confirmation.


New

•	The purpose of this key is to clear all the current or existing data from channel 1 to 40.

•	Used for entering new desired data.

•	If the current cursor location is on the 2nd page (2/2), it will automatically return to the first page (1/2).


Open

•	The purpose of this key is to open a desired data file with the specified drive and pathname.

•	When the desired file is opened, it will return to "FPU Frequency Data Programming" window with the required frequency data.


Save

The purpose of this key is to save the desired frequency data in the specified drive and pathname.

•	SAVE key can be used to overwrite the current existing file.

•	Saving of empty window(without channel data) is not allowed. The following window will be displayed.

•	A confirmation message box will be displayed, before overwriting an existing file.


Save As

The purpose of this key is to save the desired frequency data in the specified drive and pathname.

•	A confirmation message box will be displayed, before overwriting an existing file.

•	Saving of empty window(without channel data) is not allowed. The following window will be displayed.


Exit

•	The purpose of this key is to terminate the program.

•	The following window will be displayed for confirmation.

•	[Yes] will terminate the program, whereas [No] will return to the "FPU Frequency Data Programming" window.


Communication Port

•	The purpose of this key is to select the desired communication port.

•	Either Communication Port 1 or 2 can be selected.

•	If the selected port is not available, the following error message will appear. If the computer has only one communication port, the port is automatically set to COM1.

•	The communication port setting is backed up in the "Comm.kpg" which is distributed together with this program.


Page

•	The purpose of this key is to swap between page 1/2 and page 2/2.

•	Selecting [Page Up] will go to page 1/2 with channel numbers from 1 to 20.

•	Selecting [Page Down] will go to page 2/2 with channel numbers from 21 to 40.

•	The shortcut key for [Page Up] is "CTRL+U" and the shortcut key for [Page Down] is "CTRL+D".


PASSWORD SETTING

•	The Password Setting is for the purpose of changing the log in password of the Kenwood KPG-52D program.

•	The maximum characters allowed are 20.


Read

•	The purpose of this key is for reading frequency data from the transceiver.

•	The following window for confirmation will prompt user.

•	If communication cannot take place, "Communication Timeout Error" message will appear.

•	The shortcut key for this READ function is [CTRL+R].


Write

•	The purpose of this key is for writing frequency data to the transceiver.

•	The allowable channel numbers that can be written into the transceiver are from 1 to 207.

•	The following error message will appear if letters or channel numbers that are out of the allowed range is entered.

•	The following window for confirmation will prompt user.

•	If communication cannot take place, "Communication Timeout Error" message will appear.

•	If there are no frequency data written on the "FPU Frequency Data Programming" window, an error message "No Channel Data Number" will appear when attempt is made with [WRITE] key.

•	The shortcut key for this WRITE function is [CTRL+W].

•	Note: For writing the desired frequency data on the Main Application Window, each data entered, need to be followed by [Enter] key for confirmation.


Channel Table

•	The desired frequencies can be selected from the channel table located under the Help Menu.

•	The maximum numbers of channels that can be programmed into the transceiver are 40 channels.

•	The numbers of channels that can be selected are 207 channels.
