TP-8000 Wireless and Cabled Cloning

Subject:
Over-the-air and cabled cloning
Cloning refers to taking the programming information from one radio and copying it to one
or more radios without the aid of a computer. The radio sending the information is called the
Source radio, while the radios receiving the data are the Target radios. This terminology is
used below in the cloning process.
Wireless Cloning
1.
To prepare the Target radio(s) for receiving the new program, they must be placed into
the “CLONE (RX)” mode. Start by holding the monitor button (round button on the side
of the radio) and turning the radio on. The display will show “Flash Bypass” (only on
Bluetooth radios) then “CLONE (LINE)”. Release the monitor button.
2.
Press the F1 button once and the radio will display “CLONE (RX) 1”. The “1” refers to
the channel number assigned to receive the data from the Source radio. This frequency is
not however one of the programmed channels in the radio. It is a predefined cloning
frequency. There is probably no need to change this channel but it can be changed by
pressing the F1 and F3 buttons. Refer to the Owner’s Guide for specific button function.
3.
With the Target radio(s) in the receive mode, activate them by a press of the F3 button.
You will see “READY RX CLONE”.
4.
On the Source radio, press and hold the monitor button and turn the radio on. Release the
button when the display shows “CLONE (LINE)”. Press the F1 button twice. The display
will show “CLONE (TX) 1”. Since the Target radios have already been prepared, press
the F3 button of the Source radio to begin cloning.
5.
The Source radio will start at 0% and progress through to 100% completion. It will
display “CLONE (TX)” when finished. The Target radio(s) will display the progress in a
% sign. When complete, they will restart and display channel 1 of the new program. If
the Source radio did not program the Target radio(s), they will remain on “CLONE
(RX)”. Repeat the process or just press the F3 button on the Source radio.
Cabled Cloning
Hardware Needed: ACC-8050C Cloning Cable
1.
To prepare the Target radio for receiving the new program, simply turn the radio on.
2.
For the Source radio, press and hold the monitor button while turning the radio on. Let go
of the monitor button when “CLONE (LINE)” is displayed.
3.
Plug the cloning cable, the ACC-8050C into the accessory port of each radio.
4.
For the Source radio, press and hold the monitor button while turning the radio on. Let go
of the monitor button when “CLONE (LINE)” is displayed.
5.
Plug the cloning cable, the ACC-8050C into the accessory port of each radio.
6.
Press the F3 button twice on the front of the Source radio. The display should show
“0%”.
