ANUAL
The
FT-2900R
includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another
FT-2900R
. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service opera-
tion. 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 [
LOW
(
A/N
)] key while turning the radios on. Do this for both
radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). “

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 [
D/MR
(
MW
)] key
(“
