Program Kenwood 900MHz amateur radio

July 29, 2015

KPG-49D may not work from WINE. If not, boot into Windows or use a Windows virtual machine for programming Version 2 Kenwood 900MHz radio.

Note: A yellow exclamation point over the USB to serial adapter in Device Manager may indicate an obsolete version of the Prolific 2303. You can either replace the cable or use older Windows version.

This procedure is for VERSION 2 radios only! Version 1 uses the DOS software KPG-35D.

Install KPG-49D and then install the ham utilities:
