3. Click the icon of the downloaded software.  

Follow the Wizard installation instructions 
presented on screen.

Note: 


Windows Vista requires that you click the “Allow” 

button when the User Account Control window 

displays a message asking permission to install the 

software.



Installing MCP-2A alone without first installing 

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (or later) will result in 

MCP-2A not being able to start.  Microsoft .NET 

Framework 2.0 (or later) must be installed first.  

Windows Vista does not require Microsoft .NET 

Framework 2.0 (or later) since this newer version of 

Windows already contains the necessary 

environment software.

4. Click “Start” > “Program” > “KENWOOD” > 

“MCP-2A” to start MCP-2A. 
When MCP-2A starts, the transceiver 
model is requested.  Select the correct 
transceiver model and click the “OK” 
button.  You can modify the model later if 
necessary.

5. Select the communication port and data 

rate.
Specify in the COM Port frame the COM 
port that will be used to communicate via 
your computer with the target station.  You 
cannot select grayed out ports.  If all ports 
are grayed out, this indicates your 
computer has no COM ports installed and 
you will not be able to use the MCP-2A 
software even if you click the “OK” button.
