VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 81
The VX-7R includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-7R. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service opera-
tion. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:
1. Turn both radios off.
2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable and two optional CT-91 Microphone Adapt-
ers (one on each end) between the
MICMIC
MICMIC
MIC/
SPSP
SPSP
SP jacks of the two radios.
3. Press and hold in the key while turning the radios on.
Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not
matter). “

step.
4. On the Destination radio, press the key (“

appear on the Source radio, and the data from this radio
will be transferred to the other radio.

cloning cable and CT-91s. You can then turn the radios back on, and begin normal
operation.
