Clone Radio
From the MAIN MENU, press
F3
and then
F5
to access this screen.
The CLONE radio function is used to copy codeplug information from
one Trunked radio to another.
Only radios with the same serial number
can be cloned.
This screen summarizes the Individual ID information
for both MDC and Trunking so that it can be changed conveniently
from the same screen.
Note:
Conventional radios may be cloned completely.
Trunked
radios may NOT be cloned unless a System Key has been loaded for
each Trunking system ID.
Programming Procedure
Important Notes on
Cloning
1.
Do NOT clone a new radio’s data into an older radio that has
not been upgraded.
New radios usually contain updated firmware
which allow them to function with their codeplug data. Such
cloning must be performed ONLY AFTER the older radio has been
upgraded with new firmware via FLASHport.
2. Cloning is designed to transfer data between a pair or identical
radios.
Avoid cloning between radios known to contain non-
identical software options
as this may result in an unstable target
radio. Unstable codeplug data usually triggers RSS difficulties.
3. If you encounter a “Feature Set Mismatch” message while
attempting to clone a radio, this implies that the pair of radios
being cloned contain critical non-identical software options.
Cloning is NOT permitted between radios for which different sets of
software options have been ordered.
4. Remember that
cloning results in the target radio’s codeplug
data being overwritten.
Consequently, cloning radio data
containing a one-entry phone list into a radio containing a ten-
entry phone list for example will result in an overwrite of the
target radio’s phone list. In such a scenario, the target radio will
end up with only a one-entry phone list after cloning is
performed.
