Need help with TK-372G programming :/

[officerbigpants]

So i am an armed security officer. And the motorola Mag one's they give us are junk *just old and beat up*.

So i purchased a Kenwood TK-327G so i can program my job sites frequencies and just use my own... , and i also got the USB to 2 pin programming cable for it.

I downloaded the KPG-56D software that i was told it needed.

Now im at a road block.

first off, when i plug the USB cable into my laptop *running windows 7 64 bit* and then into the unit, it tells me the drivers were not found.

Anyone know where to get these?

Second, inside the compressed KPG-56D folder, when i click "install " it opens command prompt and then it instantly closes, which makes sense to me because its a batch file and needs to be run as an admin.

So i open up CP as an admin, then i type start_ then what? When i type Install.bat it tells me it doesnt exist, when i try exe, same thing.

What command do i use to get this thing to install.

I know the software works though DOS. But i cant seem to get it to work at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

officerbigpants, your problem is you have to run that program in either a true DOS or install and run DOSBOX.

You can not run this old of software thru a Windows DOS promt.

If you use a true DOS then you also will not be able to use the USB cable, as true DOS does not support USB.



nofear--What do you fear by not posting answers here in the forem? That last dozen or so responces that I have seen from you all say 'email me'.

KPG-56D is a windows prograam.. not DOS

I have no experience with trying it on 64bit O/S's though - may not run.
It runs fine on Win 7 32 bit though

Okay. so i duel booted Vista 32 bit onto my laptop.

And i got the software to work.

It opens and pops up.

However whenever i try to read the radio it keeps telling me it cannot connect to the COM PORT.

Any ideas? lol
