5.5 Cloning (Privacy Plus)

This function is used to copy codeplug information from one radio to an other . A radio an d RIB must be
properly connected to th e computer and power turned on before you attempt the PROGRAM function.
The time required to PROGRAM a codeplug will depend on the computer and the size of the
codeplug you are programming. Only radios with the same model number, protocol option and
codeplug version may be cloned. Trunked radios may not be cloned unless System Keys have been
loaded for each trunking system ID. Tuning and alignment information are not transferable and are
not af fected by cloning. Signalling Identification are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may
be assigned with the CPS.
