ANUAL
The
FT-2800M
includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another
FT-2800M
. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation.
Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:
1. Turn both radios off.
2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable between the
MIC
jacks of the two radios.
3. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET
)], [
LOW
(
A/N
)], and [
D/MR
(
MW
)] keys while turning
the radios on. Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). “
TX RX
”
will appear on the displays of both radios when the Clone mode is successfully activated
in this step.
4. On the
Destination radio
, press the [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key (“
R
” will appear on the LCD).
5. Press the [
MHz
(
SET
)] key on the
Source radio
; “
T
” will appear on the Source radio,
and the data from this radio will be transferred to the other radio.
6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “
ERROR
” will be displayed. Check your
cable connections and battery voltage, and try again.
7. If the data transfer is successful, “
PASS
” will appear on both displays.
8. Press any key to exit to normal operation.
9. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable.
