Chapter 4 Radio Programming
4.1 Introduction
The PRO2150 Portable Radio can be programmed by using the Customer Programming Software
(CPS).
4.2 Programming Your Radio
4.2.1 Overview of the Programming Process
To prepare properly programmed radios for your customers, you should:
1. Program one radio with all the necessary parameters, as required by your customers.
2. Clone these parameters over to all your customer’s radios.
4.2.2 Cloning Radio Parameters to User Radios
Cloning duplicates the contents of Radio 1 (master radio) into Radio 2 (slave radio). However, tuning
and alignment information are not affected by cloning.
4.2.3 Parameters Which are Cloned
• Radio Wide parameters
• Channel settings
• VFO settings
4.2.4 Parameters Which are Not Cloned
• All hardware tuning and alignment parameters
• Unit Serial Number
4.2.5 To Clone a Radio
Cloning duplicates the contents of your radio (master radio) into your customer’s radio (slave radio).
Tuning and alignment information are not affected by cloning.
1. Turn off both the master and slave radios (if any of them are turned on).
2. Connect both radios with the cloning cable through the Programming Port (lower port of the
Accessory Connector).
3. Turn on the slave radio.
4. Press and hold the A button, and turn on the master radio.
5. The master radio displays CLONE if cloning can proceed, otherwise an error message is
shown.
6. The slave radio displays PROG while it is being programmed.
7. When cloning is completed, the master radio displays END, and the slave radio resets
automatically.
8. Disconnect radios from the cloning cable. They are now ready for operation.
