NX-1800 Programming Help

[WorstCaseSeanario]

Hello all. I am trying to sort out my new NX-1800 Analogue Kenwood radio. Have been having zero luck with the programming software and cable. 46U cable is plugged in, KPG-D7 software is running. I try to get info from Receiver and it doesn't do anything. Keeps getting an error.

Very frustrating. Unsure if the IP address needs to be changed on the computer, just using the default but can't tell if that is right. Any advice to get this working would be appreciated.
Radio manual is completely useless and cannot find any videos/guides online.

Sorry if these are amateur problems. I am new to this.

1, D7 is NXR-1000 repeaters
2, D6 is for NX 1000 series radios.

NXR, you dont use the kpg46, that is an ethernet port.
D7 programs via IP to the front ethernet port.

Hello all. I am trying to sort out my new NX-1800 Analogue Kenwood radio.

The equipment you are trying to program... do you have an NX-1800 mobile radio OR do you have an NXR-1800 repeater? From your overall post details it appears you actually have the NXR-1800 repeater but maybe confused on or mislabeled model number as the mobile instead? Please verify and let us know what piece of equipment (model number) you actually have.

Where did you buy your NX-1800? That dealer should be able to help you.

Hi. It is definitely an NX-1800. not NXR. It is an NX-1800 DMR mobile radio.

You are using the wrong software! KPG-D7 is for their NXR-1x00 model repeaters. You need to use KPG-D6 with your NX-1800. Try again using the correct software and if you still encounter errors, please share with us (screenshots) of the actual error messages you are getting.
