Refer to this section when explaining the outline of the
KDS-100 to your customers.
1.1. What is the KDS-100?
The KDS-100 is a data terminal used to perform data
transmission in a transceiver system. The user can
easily select and send pre-registered messages with
the press of only a couple of keys.
The user can select messages on the display. The
display can also show help messages during
transmission so the user can easily see what is
happening.
It is possible to change messages and assign key
functions using the "FPU" programming software. In
addition, it is possible to select various functions to
meet your operational requirements. The software is
used on a PC and the programmed configuration is
uploaded to the KDS-100 via the
KPG-46 programming cable.
The KDS-100 should be connected to a FleetSync
compatible KENWOOD TK-x80 series or TK-x60G
series transceiver. You can use an optional connection
cable, KCT-34 or KCT-35 to make the connections.
The receiving party must have an operating
environment or configuration that allows you to view
and select characters transmitted from a TK-x80
series or TK-x60G series transceivers, and the KDS-
100 to make message transmissions. This can be
accomplished by using a FleetSync application
software package on a PC obtained from a third party
vendor.
