The
VX-3R/E
includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another
VX-3R/E
. 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 optional
CT-27
Clone Cable between the
MIC/SP
jacks of the two ra-
dios.
3.
Press and hold in the [
F/W
] key while turning the radios on. Do
this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter).
“
CLONE
” 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 [
V/M
] key (“
- WAIT -
” will
appear on the LCD).
5.
Press the [
BAND
] key on the Source radio; “
- - TX - -
” will ap-
pear 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, the Destination radio returns to normal operation and
“
CLONE
” will reappear on the Source radio.
8.
Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable. You can then turn the radios
back on, and begin normal operation.
Note: Can not perform the cloning operation between the VX-3R and VX-3E.
