by using a cloning cable. A radio cannot transfer Alphanumeric display settings, including channel

labels and group labels.

Both units must be of the same frequency band. Settings for any group in a portable radio can be

downloaded to any group in the GMH radio. The GMH radio must be programmed with groups of 14

channels. Cloning can only be accomplished group by group. To perform group cloning:

1. With the portable radio in normal operation mode,

press the

the group to be downloaded.

download, using the same method as in step 1, or

by pressingthe GRP button and turning the Channel
