	TEST MODE HELP (Help 5)

This screen displays the receive frequency for radio testing.

 In the test mode, the system select switch is used to select
 the programmed receive frequency.
 The group switch selects the encode signaling format that is
 pre-programmed in the radio's software.

Group number  Signaling format                                Power
     1         None                                            High

AUX sw: Toggles talkaround on or off.
 Displays the right hand decimal when talkaround is on.

SCAN sw: Toggles system scan on and off.
 Scans each system with the signaling format that has been allocated
 on the selected group before scan start.

 Manual.

	SYSTEM INFORMATION HELP (Help 6)

Select Trunking or conventional format for each system!

 1. Select one of 16 systems by the cursor.
 2. Press ENTER to open the system information screen.
 3. Move the cursor to "Format" and press the [F2] or [space] key to
    select Trunking, Conventional or Not used.
 4. Whether you select Trunking or Conventional, it is recommended that
    the SYSTEM NAME is entered for each system. The System Name will 
    help you when you copy a system between the data file and 
    source file during a system merge.
 5. Enter or select data for each function.

This screen displays only SYSTEM FORMAT, SYSTEM NAME, and SYSTEM LOCKOUT
for each system. 

	SYSTEM MERGE HELP (Help 7)

This MENU allows you to CREATE the SOURCE FILE and to MERGE
a system. It contains two different functions; "Creating a source
file" and "Making a programming data file (system merge)". 
Alternate between functions by using the left or right arrow key.

System merge is a convenience feature when you are making
a data file. It is easy to copy system data from the source file
to the data file.

a) Creating a source file from a programming data file.
   The source file has twenty systems, which means it includes four
   more systems than a normal data file. Therefore, make two data
   files first, then copy each system into a source file. Each
   system has a "SYSTEM NAME" which is used during system copy (merge).
   Enter the SYSTEM NAME in each SYSTEM.

  1. Change the arrow destination to the right by using the left/right 
     arrow keys.
  2. Select a target system to which you want to copy by using the 
     up/down arrow keys.
  3. Type the system number that you want to copy in the data file.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as required.
  5. Press the F5 function key to open the confirmation window.
  6. Select "OK" to proceed to copy, or select "Cancel" to cancel 
     the intended copy.




b) Making a programming data file
  Copy a system from the SOURCE FILE to a target file.
  1. Change the destination of the arrow to the left by using the 
     left/right arrow keys.
  2. Select a target system to which you want to copy.
  3. Type the system number that you want to copy in the source file.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as required.
  5. Press the F5 function key to open the confirmation window.
  6. Select "OK" to proceed to copy, or select "Cancel" to cancel
     copying.


 NOTE: This procedure is used only to copy a system to the target file.
       Feature option data will not be copied. Select them before you
       write programming data to the radio.


	FEATURE OPTION HELP (Help 8)

[Time Out Timer (RIC)]
  The programmed timer range for RIC is from 15 to 600 seconds,
  with 15 second steps. The RIC default value is set to 180 seconds.

[Time Out Timer (Dispatch)]
  The programmed timer range for Normal (Dispatch) is from 15
  to 600 seconds in 15 second steps. The default is set to 60 seconds.

[Drop Out Delay Time (scan resume time)]
  The programmed timer range is from 0 to 254 seconds
  in one second steps. The default is set to three seconds.

[Dwell Time]
  The Dwell time is the scan resume time from PTT release.
  The programmed timer range is from 0 second to 254 seconds
  in one second steps. The default is set to 15 seconds.

[Transpond Delay Time]
  The Transpond delay time is the time from decode of the ID to the
  beginning of transmission.
  The programmed timer range is from 0 to 254 seconds
  in one second steps. Default is set to three seconds.
  If you attempt to set this time to greater than the Drop out 
  delay time, transpond will be set the same as the drop- out delay time.

[Tx Inhibit Time]
  The programmed timer range is from 0.5 second to eight seconds
  in 0.5 second steps. Default is set to five seconds.

[AUX switch]
  Toggles the following functions on and off.
  The Aux key is programmable for 1 of 5 possible functions, or "No"
  function.
  1). Del/Add: System scan lockout or not.
  2). Fixed Revert CH call: Jump to the selected fixed channel.
  3). Display character: Display Alpanumerics or the System & Group
      number.
  4). RIC search: Automatically searches for an LTR(TM) open RIC channel.
  5). Power High or Low: Toggles HIGH power or LOW power on the
      programmed high power group.
  6). None

[Display Character]
  Select the display character Group name (Alphanumeric) or System and
  Group number.
  If you select the AUX switch as Display character, this selection will
  be just as a default.

[Revert Type]
  Select system revert and group as "LAST USED" (last used transmit ch)
  or "LAST CALLED" (last used receive ch).
  Revert system and group is the transmit system and group during scan.

[Free System Ring Back]
  Select "Yes" to enables this feature. This feature is only active 
  during RIC use.

[System Search]
  Select "Yes": Enables the system search feature.  

[Clear to Talk]
  Select "No": Disables the system search feature.
  If you press and hold the PTT when no free repeater exists, the
  radio will sound a busy tone and wait to access a repeater after
  one is found free.
  A delay tone will sound when hand shake occurs more than 3 times, and 
  up until 6 times.

  Select "Yes": Enables the system search feature.
  If you press and hold the PTT when no free repeater exists, the
  radio will wait to access a repeater until one is found free.
  After a free repeater is found, the radio will sound a proceed tone.
  No busy or delay tones occur in this mode.

  Note: Busy and delay tones will sound only when RIC is used.

[Scan Switch Enable]
  This switch is used only during scan to control system scan start and
  stop. If you select "No", system scan is disabled.

[Other features are described in the Service Manual.]

	PROGRAM HELP (Help 9)

Confirm the radio is in the programming mode.

a) To set the transceiver in programming mode:
   Radio power OFF.
   Hold down the A (Auxiliary) switch.
   Switch radio power ON.
   Wait for approximately 2 seconds.
   Release the A switch.

   The TK-430 or -431 indicates "PROG" on the alphanumeric display.

b) Connect the 25 pin D-sub connector from the KPG-8 interface cable
   to the computer serial port (COM1 or COM2) and connect the other
   KPG-8 connector to the transceiver microphone connector.
   The KPG-8 power cable should connect to a 13.8V DC power
   source.

The set-up is now ready to read or write program data from or to the
radio.

READING PROGRAM DATA FROM THE RADIO
 The READ function will read all programming data from the radio.

WRITING PROGRAM DATA TO THE RADIO
 The WRITE function will install program data (created in the
 EDIT screen) into the radio's EEPROM(s).
 You cannot write program data to a different model radio than a 
 TK-430 or -431. 
 Confirm the model type both on the screen and on the radio before
 you attempt to program a radio.

	SETUP COMPUTER CONFIG. HELP (Help 10)

SET THE COMMUNICATION PORT
     Select the computer's communication port for programming.

     General message color
     Window color




SET THE HELP FILE DRIVE AND PATH (SUB-DIRECTORY)
     The Help file is KPG16D.HLP and it can be in any drive and 
     sub-directory.
     Therefore, the drive and path must be set in order to display help
     messages properly.
