5-3. KPG-46 Description
(PC programming interface cable : Option)
The KPG-46 is required to interface the transceiver to the
computer. It has a circuit in its D-subconnector (25-pin) case
that converts the RS-232C logic level to the TTL level.
The KPG-46 connects the modular microphone jack of the
transceiver to the computers RS-232C serial port.
