Kenwood KPG-D6E is the genuine and official programming software for the NX-1000 series (NX-1300 and NX-1200) two-way radios for use in Europe and the UK/Ireland. NOTE: This software is for European (E-code) radios only.


Development of CHIRP is an all-volunteer effort and is offered as open-source software, free of charge. If you like CHIRP, please consider contributing a small donation to help support the costs of development and hardware:

CHIRP is distributed as a series of automatically-generated builds. Any time we make a change to CHIRP, a build is created for it the next day. Thus, CHIRP is versioned by the date on which it was created, which makes it easy to determine if you have an older build. We don't put experimental things into CHIRP before they are ready, except where specifically called out with a warning. Thus, you do not need to worry about finding a stable version to run. You should always be on the latest build available.

Upgrading: You do need to uninstall an existing version of CHIRP before installing a newer one. Just install the new one and it will replace the existing copy!

You can find a complete test report of the current build here and a matrix of supported models and features here

Windows Users¶

  • CHIRP runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Older versions of Windows are not supported
  • Most users will want to download the installer.exe file, which installs CHIRP like a normal application
  • The win32.zip file is for advanced users wishing to run CHIRP without installing

MacOS Users¶

  • OS X support is limited to Intel architecture. PowerPC is not supported.
  • Chirp.app is unsigned. With default security settings, you will need a special procedure to run it: Application Security in 10.9.

Homebrew users can install Chirp without the KK7DS runtime by running brew install tdsmith/ham/chirp and then running chirp from the terminal.
However, running CHIRP using Homebrew is obsolete. MacOS Unified Application build is now the recommended way.

More useful tidbits can be found at MacOS Tips.

Linux Users¶

Kenwood

Most Linux users will want the flatpak executable, which has the entire runtime integrated and should 'just work.' If you are running an old or weird distro and want the source distribution, grab the tarball from the above link.

Translators and Developers¶

There is extensive documentation about the development and contribution process located at http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Developers

Kenwood Land Mobile Radio Programming Information
Compiled by Mike Morris WA6ILQ

The three tables below were received as two anonymous emails in December of 2008. All we did was clean up the formatting and convert it into HTML for the web. Since we're not Kenwood geeks the Repeater-Builder staff can't take responsibility for the accuracy. Since a KPG-4 (with a 6 pin RJ-series plug) can be used in place of a KPG-46 (8-pin RJ-series plug) there are probably a bunch of errors in the cable specifications. There are a lot of unknowns as well, indicated by '?' in the tables.

If you can donate any information (including PDFs of any radio brochures, like the TK-255 below, or photos of the programmers or the programming cables) please send an email to Mike WA6ILQ at the email address below.

Likewise please let us know if you have any corrections or any additions to fill in some of the blanks below.

Notes:
1) The KPG-36 is a KPG-4 with a one-piece speaker mic plug instead of a RJ-connector. You can use a KPG-4 with a home-made adapter that consists of a RJ-jack, some wire, and a speaker-mic connector. See these photos of a KPG-36 connector front and rear.Kenwood two way radio programming software download
Programming2) The KPG-22 is similar to the KPG-4 but with a dual connector (1/8' mini and a 1/16' sub-mini headphone-style connectors) for the later handhelds. See this photo and this schematic of a KPG-22 cable. You can make an adapter cable that will ket you use your KPG-4 on the handhelds that use a KPG-22 very easily using two separate plugs - just use the plug connection info from the schematic.

3) Note that Kenwood numbers the pins backward from Ethernet. The KPG-4 and the KPG-46 are the exact same unit except for the RJ connector on the radio end of the cable. The KPG-4 has a 6-pin (RJ-11 / RJ-12-style) connector. The earlier KPG-46 has an 8-pin connector (RJ-45 style) and the center 6 pins are wired the same and the outer 2 pins are not used. If you are careful the 6-pin KPG-4 will work perfectly in the 8-pin mic jack. The plastic tab should only let you put the 6-pin plug into the middle of the 8-pin jack since pins 1 and 8 on the 8-pin jack aren't used for programming purposes. Look carefully at the 6-pin plug however, some have a thicker shoulder that will push pins 1 and 8 of the 8-pin jack up into the plastic body, bending and damaging the two pins. If you are going to build your own programming adapter you could copy one trick I saw - the person used a dual jack snap-in housing, mounted the perf-board inside, had a DE-9 pigtail coming out of one side, a connector for a 12vDC wall wart on the same side, and both 6-pin and 8-pin jacks snapped into the housing. The two jacks were wired so he could use a common 6-pin phone cable to connect to to the 6-pin radios, and a common ethernet patch cord for the 8-pin radios. Or you could build it with one connector, and build an adapter starting with a 6-pin RJ-12 jack wired to a stub of a common 8-pin RJ45 ethernet cable. See this schematic for a KPG-4 and KPG-46 cable. Or look here: Here's another one. If you are going to build your own programming adapter you will want to print both and study them.
4) Yes, conflicting information. It's what we received. We'd love to have any info that will resolve the conflicts.

KPG-8The KPG-8 is the predecessor to the KPG-22, and requires an external power source where the KPG-22 is powered from the COM port. Anyplace you see KPG-8 you can substitute a KPG-22. The real Kenwood KPG-22 cable has a 25-pin connector.
KPG-10The kpg-10 programming cable is for the TK-230 / TK-240 / TK-330 / TK340 radios. It is obsolete and no longer available as a new product from Kenwood. It is hard to find on the used market. The folks at www.rfguys.com have a replacement available for it on their page (US$60 in early June 2011). Thanks to Dan Hebron N8VPZ for the information and pointer to rfguys.com.
