The three tables below were received as two anonymous emails in December of 2008. WA6ILQ cleaned up the formatting and converted it into HTML for this web page. Since the repeater-builder staff are not Kenwood geeks we can't take responsibility for accuracy or completeness. There are probably a bunch of errors in the cable specifications, Corrections are welcome!. There are a lot of unknowns as well, indicated by "?" in the tables. The information we received was for models sold in the USA region, so there is almost no information here on models sold in other regions.
If you can donate any information (including PDFs of any radio brochures, like we linked to the TK-255 below, or photos of the programmers or the programming cables) please send an email to the page maintainer.
Some of the earliest KPG DOS programs only support COM1 and COM2. Later on COM3 and COM4 were added. Many older laptops have a hardware COM1 connector, this was deleted in later laptops. Your page maintainer took advantage of the fact that almost all Panasonic CF-series Toughbooks have that COM1 connector - and he uses a 1999-vintage 200 MHz Toughbook CF-27 for the MS-DOS and Win98SE vintage programs, a CF-30 (32-bit Windows 7) for most radios and a CF-74 (32-bit Windows 10) to program the newer radios. 32 bits? Absolutely!! Many of the older radio programming software will NOT run on 64 bit Windows.If you chose to go that route please remember that 32 bit Windows (any version) can't access over 4gb of RAM. So don't waste your money going any higher in RAM.
