NX-3320 still says "Unprogram"

[salem_c13]

Quick question, not sure if its programming related or something with the radio. I have the software and it is licensed properly as far as I can tell, configured the software on how I want my radio to be programmed with channels, and the buttons. I am able to write to the radio and it goes though its process and says "Writing completed" when its done, however when the radio reboots after programming is pushed, it still says "unprogram" on the screen.

I have tried 2 different cables with the same result. I can read the radio from the software if I check the Product Information.

I double checked my license in LMC client and it shows I am licensed for the software.

I know there is a bit of a learning curve with KPG-D3N compared to other versions that I am familiar with like KPG 111, KPG 101, and KPG-D6N, but not sure if I have missed something else that might require additional configuration. I did a bit of google searching however information seems to be a bit.... non existent.

Has anyone else encountered something like this?

Radio info and software for those wondering:
Kenwood NX-3320 K2
Firmware K 4.00.00
KPG-D3N FPU Version 4.10

I did find a similar post for someone else having similar issue with a different radio, however they were using older firmware and I think were successful after updating it. Referenced post link below.

NX3820 UNPROGRAM?????

Ok, so I got my software and am trying to program my radio. I downloaded radio data first, did my settings, then wrote data to radio. Red light when downloading and green light while uploading. Both actions said it was completed. No error. The radio says unprogram as soon as I turn it on. When I...

As far as I can tell, my radio seems to be on the latest firmware.

If anyone has an idea of what might be happening, or what I would need to do to get this radio working, would be appreciated.

Please and thank you.

NEXT, you need to set the channels in the zone channel panel. Like Motorola style (why im not a fan of D3)

What KD4EFM said...took me like 3 times of it happening to me before I remembered to add the channels into a zone

Thank you for the info.

Did not know that was a thing. Well with older style radios I vaguely remember doing something similar. I have made the changes but cant push the programming as i remoted onto the computer from home to make the adjustments. Once I'm in front of the radio tomorroe I will attempt to load it and let you know how it goes.

So now that I am in front of my radio, you were right about the zones. Once I added those in, the channels all show up now. I did not think about that. I know with older radios like TK-880 as an example, the zone needed to be configured before creating the channels. A little different in this case with newer software.

Thank you for your help.
