Cloning
The
VX-261
transceiver includes a convenient “Cloning” feature, which allows the programming data from one transceiver
to be transferred to another
VX-261
. Here is the procedure for Cloning one transceiver’s data to another.
1. Turn both transceivers “off”.
2. Remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws
from the
MIC/SP
jack on the right side of the trans-
ceiver. Do this for both transceivers.
3. Connect the optional
CT-27
cloning cable between the
MIC/SP
jacks of the two transceivers.
4. Press and hold in the
PTT
and
SIDE-1
switches (just
below the
PTT
switch) while turning the transceiver
“on” (the order of the switch-on operation does not
matter). When Clone mode is successfully activated in
this step.
5. On the
Destination
transceiver, press the
SIDE-1
switch. The LED indicator on the top of the transceiv-
er will glow Green.
6. Press the
PTT
switch on the
Source
transceiver. The
LED indicator on the top of the transceiver will glow
Red, and the data will be transferred.
7. If there is a problem during the cloning process, the
LED indicator on the top of the transceiver will blink
Red; check your cable connections and battery volt-
age, and try again.
8. If the data transfer is successful, the LED indicator on
the top of the transceiver will turn off. Turn both trans-
ceivers “off” and disconnect the
CT-27
cable. You can
then turn the transceivers back on, and begin normal
operation.
9. Replace the plastic cap and its two mounting screws.
