I have some questions about programming the TK260 (Not the G model) I grabbed the radio off ebay and I want to program it for my needs.
I bought the KPG27D soiftware and a KPG22 cable (Yeah one of the Hong Kong COM port cables) and I have the software on my windows 7 based computer (it runs in a DOS window) I have heard mixed results about all of this, I have been told to slow my baud rate to 2400 on the com port, but thats about all I have learned about how to program the radio. So what I am looking for is the owners/service manuals (basically instructions on how to program them for rookies) I don't know if they can be found on the internet in PDF form or not, I have googled my brains out with no avail, as the closest I have came is a german one (for the 260G model)
So can anyone help me out with this, if you cant find the manual can someone answer these questions.
1) What do you need to do to put the radio into programming mode (if any)?
2) Do you plug in the radio while it's off and then turn it on or plug it in while it's on?
3) Will my setup work with Windows 7 in a dos window with a Hong Kong cable?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreacated..
