The
VX-3R
includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configu-
ration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another
VX-3R
. This can be particu-
larly 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 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).
“

” 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 (“

5. Press the [

” 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, “

and try again.
7. If the data transfer is successful, the Destination radio returns to normal operation and
“

8. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable. You can then turn the radios
back on, and begin normal operation.
