  • Some early models of the KP150 (KG109) were fitted with the uPD7530BGF KM753C-111 CPU if this is the case '00' MUST be programmed in location 650.

  • From address 670 to 7F8 the CTCSS tones are set for each of the 99 channels

  • The information below covers both the original 09QCTA CTCSS board and also the Sigtec C1124 CTCSS board.

    The CTCSS data is entered into the eprom as follows
  • IMPORTANT note a code is required even for NO CTCSS with a CTCSS Board fitted

  • The NO CTCSS code for a 090QCTA (original CTCSS Board) or C1124 (Sigtec) differs, check which board you have

  • To enable the Tx Timeout Timer on the C1124 CTCSS Board, 1 needs to be added to both the CTCSS Rx & Tx Data-1 codes (see example in table below)

  • J1 - Increases decoder bandwidth for non-crystal controlled repeater panels
  • J2 - Tone phase change A=180 deg B=120 deg
  • J3 - Link with diode enables monitor button
  • J4 - Linked disables Tx lockout
  • J5 - Leave unlinked

Alignment of Radio

  • Supply Voltage 9.6v
  • Adjust TX and RX VCO trimmers for approx 3v (Range 1-5v)
  • Test VCO voltage at Test Point
  • Calibrate frequency with VCO frequency adjust trimmer
  • Adjust maximum power and then align High Pwr Set / Low Pwr Set if radio has switchable power levels
  • Tune front end coils x 4 for maximum receiver sensitivity
  • Squelch is preset with radios with no squelch pot

  • PLEASE NOTE: I am not able to supply blank flexi track mounted 27c64 eproms but can program them. I do not have any other parts for the Key KP Radio, only answer questions about KEY KP series radios ! (I'm always hunting for Key bits myself though)

  • Hopefully readers of this article will be familar with how to actually program a 27c64 eprom.
  • Key used to manufacture a special programming adaptor for the flexi track mounted 27c64 eprom which converts it to the normal 28 pin DIL socket to blow its data.
  • Before you ask I only have one of these adaptors and its not for sale !

  • Please contact epromsatsuperiorsignals.co.uk for pre-programmed devices @ GBP 11.45 UK pounds (inc GBP 1.45 UK postage) / 13.00 Euros each (inc GBP 4.25 international postage) postage (Please note as these leadless 27C128 eproms are no longer manufactured, the devices MAY be recycled ones). 6.45 GBP UK pounds (inc GBP 1.45 UK postage) / 7.50 Euros (inc GBP 4.25 international postage) each if you supply the blank 27C128 devices each.
