3-1. Preface
The TK-3168 transceiver is programmed using a personal
computer, a programming interface (KPG-22) and programming
software (KPG-82D).
The programming software can be used with an IBM PC
or compatible. Figure 1 shows the setup of an IBM PC for
programming.
3-2. Connection procedure
1. Connect the TK-3168 to the personal computer with the
interface cable.
2. When the POWER is switched on, user mode can be
entered immediately. When the PC sends a command,
the radio 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 the
model type when it is written into the EEPROM.
·
Change the TK-3168 to PC mode, then attach the interface
cable.
3-3. KPG-22 description
(PC programming interface cable: Option)
The KPG-22 is required to interface the TK-3168 with the
computer. It has a circuit in its D-subconnector (25-pin) case
that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-22 connects the SP/MIC connector of the TK-3168
to the computer's RS-232C serial port.
3-4. Programming software description
KPG-82D is the programming software for TK-3168
supplied on a CD-ROM. This software runs under Windows
98, ME, Windows 2000 or XP on an IBM-PC or compatible
machine.
The data can be input to or read from TK-3168 and edited
on the screen. The programmed or edited data can be printed
out. It is also possible to tune the transceiver.

cabinet assy as shown in the diagram.
Good Condition
NG Condition
After mount, packing
should be in this
condition.
Packing deform.
Packing protruded out.
Note:
· Take care that the packing does not protrude from the
chassis or case.
· Replace the protruded or deformed packing with a new one.
