5-1. Preface
The transceiver is programmed by using a personal com-
puter, programming interface (KPG-22) and programming
software (KPG-101D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.

User mode For normal use.
Panel test mode Used by the dealer to check the funda-
mental characteristics.
Panel tuning mode Used by the dealer to tune the transceiver.
PC mode Used for communication between the
transceiver and PC (IBM compatible).
Data programming Used to read and write frequency data and
mode other features to and from the transceiver.
PC test mode Used to check the transceiver using the
PC. This feature is included in the FPU.
See panel tuning.
Firmware Used when changing the main program
programming mode of the flash memory.
Clone mode Used to transfer programming data from
one transceiver to another.
Firmware version Used to confirm the internal firmware
information version.
Self-programming You can program the frequency signaling and
mode other function using only the transceiver.
