The Radio Information Board

Hi all,

I have a problem when trying to read or write to my TK360G...

The program says Check connection, first I thought i might be the cable, so I bought a new, but same problem... I have allso tryed other computers, but same problem...

Any one who can help?

what is operating system you used?

I use Windows Server 2000

I can write to one radio TK360G an older model...

The two newer models I can't read... Maby need some new software?

Is that supposed to run on Windows? If it's DOS then don't use a DOS window within Windows. You need to boot to DOS, like DOS v6.22. Go to http://www.bootdisk.com and d/l the DOS bootdisk image. Then create a bootable floppy, copy over the program to the DOS boot disk, boot from that, then run the program from that. However, if it IS meant to run on Windows then you may need to use XP, 98, etc...

What version of KPG56D are you using?

I think it might be a software related problem...

I can read and write from one and it is has the serial 11003397 the one that I can't read/write has the serial 33903946 so it is a newer radio...

Im not sure where to find the version but "Kpg56d_v2" does this helt?


Kind regards
Mark

There should be a help section/link of some kind towards the top.....? Under that there may be a "General Help" or "About Kpg56" or something like that that might tell you the version of the s/w you have.

The version is 1.00 ...

Is the s/w supposed to run under DOS or Windows? If it's DOS then you should boot into DOS, NOT Windows's DOS, and run the program.

It can run under windows 3.11 or MS Dos, I use dos mode...

But there shut be newer versions right?

Version 1.00 must ben the first one?

V 1.00 is ancient. If you can read and write to a very early serial number but not a later one, it's probably a software limitation. I don't know what the latest DOS revision is, but it's well over 2.0 (and might even be up to 3.0).

There is also a windows version available which has been out for a couple of years now. I'm pretty sure if you bought the latest revision, it would solve your problems. The Windows version is much easier to deal with IMHO.

Thanks Meatball,

So now my search will go in on getting some newer software

KPG56d Ver 3.20 (DOS) was released in 2001 so anything earlier than 3 is ancient. As I recall, there were problems with V2 and I don't recall ever seeing a V1.

Ver 4.x is Windows.

You should be able to find a newer version easily on the Web. I Googled "KPG56d" and found something right away.

Hi champs,

Thanks for you're help
