Kenwood tk-760hg

[torawhide41]

Im having trouble finding the correct programming cable for the tk-760hg. It needs the smaller cable (looks like the size of a telephone cable) and all I can seem to find is the KPG-4 for the tk-760 (the size of an ethernet cable). I also have the KPG-56D Software for DOS that I am able to run in windows XP DOS prompt, but now im not sure if that is the right software.... any help would be great, I've spent the last few hours googling and searching, and keep coming up with the same ol NOTHING!!
Thanks,
Matt

I believe it is the KPG-46 cable you will need. I thought the KPG-56D was windows based.

The TK-X60G radio is one of those transition models. Originally the program software (KPG-56D) was DOS based and later versions were written for windows. I have both and whichever computer is fired up I'll use, both work without a hitch.

The cable to use is a KPG-46, which has a RJ-45 8pin connector to plug into the mic jack and you get to choose from:

KPG-46 Serial cable, terminates to a DB-25 computer connector.
KPG-46AM Serial cable, terminates to a DB-9 (AT style, whoo!) computer connector.
KPG-46UM USB cable for those computers without a com port (driver CD included, only works with windows FPU)

As a bonus, the older Kenwoods used a 6 pin mic connector and the program cable for that is a KPG-4.
It is serial only, but it WILL program a 760HG if you get it to seat straight in the mic connector.

Throw those numbers into the ol ebay and I got a million options from $5 up to $50! ...all I needed was the right ones iguess. And yeah, I guess the KPG-56D software is windows based if you have the newer v.4. At first I just had one that worked on the ol MS DOS window and you had to use the 'alt' and 'F' keys to run it! Thanks for your guys' help! Now I have to head over to the TAD-M10 section if there is one.... that is one dinosaur to try and find program OR cable for!!

I'm not sure if the #60 series is line the #30's, but to program the #30 you have to turn the radio off, plug in the cable, hold down the SQL button and turn the radio on to put it in program mode.
