2.3.1 SPECIAL CLONING INSTRUCTIONS
It is possible to change Channel 0 values on the portable radio, hold
them in a temporary memory, and download them to the DMH without
actually entering them into the permanent memory of the portable radio.
This is convenient for sequential identification numbers used to identify a
series of radios in a radio system. Assuming that the frequencies, Code
Guard values, and other Ch 0 values are common for all radios in the
system, but that the radio identification number should be unique to each
radio, the following method would be used to clone additional radios for
the system.
1. Program the portable radio with all frequencies, Code Guard values,
and Channel 0 values that will be common to all DMH radios to be
cloned.
2. Advance the display to show the portable radio's ID number-for
example, 100.
3. Press the [CLR] key; press 125. Do not press the [ENT] key. Now
125 is in temporary memory.
4. Press the [*] key, connect the cable to the radios and download to
the DMH by pressing the [FCN] key. ID number 125 is now stored in
permanent memory of the DMH.
5. After download, press the [CLR] key on the portable radio.
Disconnect the DMH. The portable radio display will show that 125
is still being held in the temporary memory of the portable radio.
6. Press the [PRI] key. This will increment the ID number one digit to
126. (Note: any new number can be entered at this point by pressing
the [CLR] key and using the digit keys to enter the new number.)
7. Press the [*] key. Connect the cable to the second DMH and
download by pressing [FCN].
8. Any number of radios can be coded with different or sequential ID
numbers using this technique. The ID number in the permanent
memory of the portable radio will remain unchanged as 100.
2.3.2 SCAN LIST CLONING
When a portable radio downloads to a DMH, the Scan List is also
transferred. See “Scan Operation” in section 3.11 for details on selecting
the scan list.
