Programming Software — Kirisun Pt8100
Kirisun uses a specific cable, often labeled as the KSP-USB or the generic "Kirisun 2-pin to USB" cable. Unlike Motorola or Kenwood cables (which are often incompatible), the Kirisun cable has a specific resistor bridge inside the connector that the software checks for.
Critical Warning: Do not use a standard Kenwood or Baofeng "K1" cable. While the PT8100 shares a similar 2-pin Kenwood-style audio connector, the data pinout is different. Using the wrong cable will result in "Connection Failed" or "Communication Timeout" errors. kirisun pt8100 programming software
Recommended setup:
You will see a tabbed interface. Focus on the "Channel Information" or "Conventional Channel" table. Kirisun uses a specific cable, often labeled as
| Column | What to enter | | :--- | :--- | | Channel No. | 1 to 16 (PT8100 supports 16 channels maximum) | | RX Frequency | e.g., 462.562500 (for GMRS/FRS) or your repeater output | | TX Frequency | Usually same as RX for simplex; different for repeater (repeater input) | | QT/DQT Dec | CTCSS tone (e.g., 67.0 Hz) or DCS code (e.g., D023N) | | QT/DQT Enc | Usually same as Dec | | Power | High (H) or Low (L) | | Bandwidth | 12.5K (narrow) or 25K (wide) | | Scan | Add to scan list (Yes/No) | You will see a tabbed interface
Pro Tip: For a repeater channel, set RX to the repeater’s output frequency (what you listen on) and TX to the repeater’s input frequency (what you transmit on). The PT8100 does not have automatic offset calculation like a ham radio—enter both manually.
This is the most sensitive part of the process. Unlike smartphone apps, radio programming software is not found on mainstream app stores. You must source it from legitimate channels to avoid malware or corrupted files.
