About the Programming Software
Various functions and parameters of the transceiver can be configured by using the KPG-D1/ D1N software. Various
functions can be enabled by connecting the transceiver to a PC by use of the KPG-36U/ KPG-36X (Portable) or KPG-46U/
KPG-46X (Mobile) programming cable and writing the data configured using KPG-D1/ D1N to the transceiver. In this manual,
a corresponding reference in the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N is described for each function of the Function Reference.
Therefore, you can configure the function by referring to the function also appearing in the help texts of KPG-D1/ KPG-D1N.
About KPG-D1N
KPG-D1N is the programming software to configure functions for the transceiver to be used in the U.S.A.
KPG-D1N is compliant with the FCC Part 90 standard so that the specification does not allow to configure “Wide” (25 kHz)
for Channel Spacing with a VHF or UHF transceiver in the frequency band regulated by the FCC Part 90. Except for the
function above, specifications of KPG-D1 and KPG-D1N are the same.
About the Notation of “Configuration Using KPG-D1/ D1N”
In this manual, for the description of each function written as “Configuration using KPG-D1/ D1N”, a corresponding reference
in the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N is described. Therefore, you can configure the function by referring to the function also
appearing in the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N.
About the Zone-channel Format
Using KPG-D1/ D1N, the zone information of the transceiver can be configured by selecting whether to configure for each
zone the channels in the same communication system (Analog Conventional, P25 Conventional, NXDN Conventional, DMR
Conventional, P25 Trunking, NXDN Trunking), or channels in different systems.
Channel Table:
The communication system to be used can be selected for each zone. Only channels which use the same communication
system can be configure in a zone.
Personality:
The communication system to be used can be selected for each channel. Channels which use different communication
systems can exist in a zone.
In this manual, the mode names above may be described in explanations and references. This indicates that the function
is enabled only when the described mode is configured. Also, the data configured by the Channel Table format can be
migrated to the Personality format, but the data configured by the Personality format cannot be migrated to the Channel
Table format.
Refer to the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N for the method for configuring Zone-channel Format using KPG-D1/ D1N.
About System Type
For KPG-D1/ D1N, “P25 Conventional” or “P25 Trunking” must be selected in System Type of System Information of
KPG-D1/ D1N in order to configure the system data or Zone-channel data of a P25 Conventional or P25 Trunking system.
In this manual, for the description of each function written as “Configuration using KPG-D1/ D1N”, a corresponding reference
in the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N is described as follows:
Configuring Unit ID (Own) ( Transceiver Settings > Personal > System Information > P25 Conventional > Unit
ID (Own))
In this case, if “P25 Conventional” is configured in System Type of System Information, Unit ID (Own) in P25 Conventional
can be configured.
Refer to the help texts of KPG-D1/ D1N for the method of System Type configuration using KPG-D1/ D1N.

About the Built-in GPS Receiver Unit
The GPS receiver is built-in for NX-5200/ NX-5300/ NX-5400/ NX-5700/ NX-5800/ NX-5900. Read the following warnings
before using the built-in GPS receiver unit of NX-5200/ NX-5300/ NX-5400/ NX-5700/ NX-5800/ NX-5900.
0On the use of the GPS
With frequency interference in the GPS receive frequency range to the transceiver or another transceiver, the GPS
receiver may not position normally.
1. If the GPS receiver positions while transmitting
0The GPS receiver may be unable to position if the transmit spurious emission of the transceiver interfere within
the GPS receive frequency range.
0The interference to the GPS receiver changes depending on the transmission power of the transceiver. Greater
transmission power results in the higher possibility of being unable to position.
2. If the GPS receiver positions while receiving
0The GPS receiver may be unable to position if the harmonics of the oscillator equipped in the transceiver interfere
within the GPS receive frequency range.
3. Effects of other interfering frequencies (such as if other transceivers transmit)
0If even transmit and receive frequencies other than the above, the GPS receiver may be unable to position if
frequencies emitted from other transceivers and electronic equipment interfere within the GPS receive frequency
range.
0As the built-in GPS receiver unit consumes more power when powered on compared to when powered off, the battery
life of the transceiver becomes shorter compared to when the built-in GPS receiver unit is powered off.
