Install the KPG-101D Software

If the Kenwood KPG-101D (FPU) programming software has not previously been installed in the
programming PC, follow the installation instructions provided with the software. Installing new KPG-
101D Software will create a “Kenwood Fpu” folder in the PC’s Program Files folder. An icon
representing the software may also appear on the PC’s desktop display. Remove the CD after installation
is complete.

Copying the Kenwood DAT Files

In the system Program Files (with the KPG-101D installed), open the “Kenwood Fpu” folder. Create a
new folder under “Program Files\Kenwood Fpu” and name the new folder “GTC DAT Files”. Insert the
DAT CD, provided with the 190-3170K Adapter Kit, in the PC’s CD-ROM drive. Copy the seven files
on the CD to the “GTC DAT Files” folder and remove the DAT CD from the drive.
