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

KPG-55D software is a tool for programming TK-2102, TK-2107, TK-3102 or 
TK-3107 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:

* floppy disk (3.5", 1.44MB)
    KPG-55D PROGRAMMING DISK
* Installation sheet


***[APPLICABLE TRANSCEIVERS]***

This programming software supports the following transceivers:

TK-2102 (VHF:  2 CH Model)
TK-2107 (VHF: 16 CH Model)
TK-3102 (UHF:  2 CH Model)
TK-3107 (UHF: 16 CH Model)


***[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 350kB.

< 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-8 or KPG-22 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-8 or 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-8 or KPG-22 cable to the Speaker-Mic
   Jacks 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-55D software requires a destination drive with 300kB free space.


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

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

1. Insert the "KPG-55D PROGRAMMING 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-55D PROGRAMMING 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 3 typical programming 
operations.

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


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

1. Specify the transceiver model. (Model/Model type setup)

2. Modify the default 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-2102, TK-2107, TK-3102 or TK-3107 
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 "KPG55D" 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 have 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.

3. Select [Ok] using the [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.

4. If running the program from a floppy disk, remove the disk from its 
   drive.

5. Switch OFF the power to the computer.

6. 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.

< Channel Information window >
The Channel Information window shows various 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.



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 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 the EEPROM 
in the transceiver.  This menu also allows you to access the Test mode.

< Setup >
The Setup menu allows you to select a communication port on the computer to 
connect with the transceiver via the KPG-8 or KPG-22 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.
