Starting up KAS-20

[KC3AWP]

Hello, Im in the process of getting our fire company setup with KAS-20. After downloading the LMC and authenticating the software and setting up the SQL server, I still get an error on KAS-20S of "The database is not installed. To start KAS-20s, it is necessary to install the database". After clicking OK, which is the only option, the program closes. I never got the first time start up option as stated in the directions. Any help on how to get past this would be appreciated!

It might be looking for the maps.

If you send me a PM with your e-mail address, I can send you the technical guides for setting it up.

You need to go into KAS-20S and finish setting up the database before you log into the client side.

SO I messed around a bit, followed the instructions to the T, I still cannot edit, or even create a database. @kd4efm, in the manual it talks about the first start up of KAS-20S, itll give me the option to create a database, yet I have never had this option. This computer has never seen KAS-20S before. Any idea?

What installation of sql server did you use?

So on the first computer I was running SQL Express 2019, I reinstalled on a slightly older computer using SQL Express 2014 following the instructions to the T and it worked for me. I have it about 90% up and running on my test radio, now I need to figure out why my 5700 is reporting my location as all zeros, or null. Does the Consol or Server radio need GPS too to decode? The console and server computer are NX700's and my test radio is a NX5700. Using NXDN conventional over a simplex channel. Can send .dat file if needed.

do you have the gps antenna on the 5700??

do you have a soft button labels GPS POSI? if you, what does it show?

Yes I have a KRA-40GM hooked up to the 5700, GPS signal aquired and its displaying the correct coordinates and altitude. Im not sure why its not making it to the computer running KAS20
