Hello all. I have a TK-7180 that I am trying to program on 89D windows 11. I’ve set up the driver before with one I downloaded offline. This was maybe a year ago. Now I am trying to program it again and the com port isn’t reading on the software. I tried finding and searching for the driver I had used but it wasn’t anywhere to be found. I downloaded the 1 possibility I could find on google and it still doesn’t work. Before when I hit the browse from a list it gave me two options. One with today’s date and another for a 2008 driver. The 2008 driver worked. But now I can’t seem to make anything work. Does anyone have a link to a driver that will work?

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.
Driver for KPG-89D windows 11

Did you program it last with WIN 11 computer?
If it is older cable many of these old Kenwood programming cables won't work in WIN 11. Ran into this with Kenwood portable programming cable not supported in WIN 11, but works fine under WIN 10.
If you have a cable not supported in WIN 11 you should see a message on the computer noting that this cable is not supported in current operating system

Yes that message does come up on the driver name. But I’ve gotten it to work before. Yes windows 11.
Number 1, not listed in your notes, the cable information. Kpg36u, kpg36xm, kpg-36(db25)
2, I would suggest getting a bluemax49er kpg36x cable skip the headaches.

KPG-46U A788 off eBay
I second this comment. Bluemax49er is a very good vendor for programming cables and the like. Just ordered a new cable to program the Kenwood mobiles last month good service and quick shipping.
If you just bought a cable from Ebay to price was likely great, but many of these are questionable.
Bluemax49er cables work the first time.
if you installed the 2008 driver already you need to go to device manager and manually right click the adapter, select update driver then browse my computer, let me pick from list, then select the 2008 driver then it should work if the 2008 driver is not installed you will need to install the 2008 driver and then restart manually updating the driver this works with just about any of the prolific cables that use the older or knockoff chip-set cables..
