That is common. The firmware in KCH needs to match fw in radio deck.
If you have the KPG-D1N software, go into the directory on your PC and find the FPRO.exe application which is the firmware loader.
Reload firmware and both head & deck should then match. Then you can edit codeplug.

so the FPRO.exe will downloand from kenwood the current firmware for the radio and make everything match....?

OK i just went into my D1N software files and I do not have a FPRO.exe... where can I get this..? I have something called KFL..?

KFL is what you need to use.

And you still need to get the firmware file to load into KFL. v5.12 is the latest.

Hey there, I am running a NX-5700 ad NX-5800 in a dual deck configuration. I just switched from the KCH-19 to the KCH-20R. When I power on the radio, I am getting the same message at the user above, indicating Firm Mismatch. Then I get the following information.

Version Info
D1: K 5.13.00
D2: K 5.13.00

Check Sum
D1: B60F
D2 B60F

Version Info
H1:K 5.12.00

Check Sum
H1: 170E

I assume that I need to update the firmware in the control head to 5.13.00? If so, where do I find that firmware?

Also, I do not have the FPRO.exe or the KFL that was advised above.

Any guidance or support would be much appreciated.

Yes, you will need to update the firmware, which will update all 3 even if the firmware matches. You can get the firmware and software from your Kenwood Dealer.

IF you have the download for D1, D3, KFL is included with the software download unless you get a stripped down version which some people tend to do.

Just for reference



DO NOT UPDATE THE LMC TO 1.30, you must update to 2.01 to prevent a headache!
