Programming troubles TK-630, it worked b4

[Syntor-X9K]

Hi,
I am trying to reprogram a TK-630. I did this several years ago, I think with the same pc and cable. The software reports, model type mismatch (it does this with no radio cable connected, too). I already reset the radio type to the correct type, and rechecked the comm port, without any luck.
I'm using a toughbook cf-47 and I've trid from a dos window or from dos directly. kpg7d. v2.01.
I dont have another radio to test with.
Any thoughts?

Got me on this one, as this is a bit before my time with the kenwoods.
I'd try another slower PC and see what you get, the CF-47 may still be a bit too fast for
the software.

It reports a model type mismatch even before you attach the cabling and try to read? Is this the saved codeplug from your last time? I think the codeplug is corrupted, if that's the case.

Some suggestions:

Before reading the radio make sure you have drilled down and selected the exact model / options under the "Model Tab"

First Level:

• Basic 32ch
• Basic 99ch
• Basic 32ch AN
• Basic 99ch AN
• Full 32ch
• Full 160ch

Second Level:

• Single Control Head
• Dual Control Head

Third Level:

• Single Band
• Dual Band

Forth Level:

• UHF
• VHF Hi
• VHF Low

Fifth Level:

• 29.7 - 37
• 35 -43
• 41 -50
• SP Tune

The most common issue I have found is forgetting to select "SP Tune" for radios that have been taken out of band.

I retried using my IBM-PS2 (386/20), and this worked. Well sorta. I get error on the pc at 4k/ 62% (but everything seems OK on the radio (again sorta) - See below) . I just remembered that I switched control heads, do to a LCD panel problem (I move just the RAM to the new head). I bet that R33 is still in place on the newer head.

The new problem (likely R33 in the head), is that the newly created channel/mode/ alpha tags, didn't show up. I thought maybe that do to some banks being empty, that maybe it had a problem with the blank data, so I filled in the blank banks with some odd frequencies. However, older tags still remain in upper channels/groups. R33 in the head is my best guess...

Update for above. R33 was in place, and now is removed. Radio programming is normal.
