58 FT-8800R Operating Manual
You can transfer all data stored in one FT-8800R to another FT-8800R by utilizing the
handy “Cloning” feature. This requires a user-constructed Cloning cable which connects the
DATA jacks on the two transceivers, as shown below.
To clone from one transceiver to another, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the Cloning Cable into the DATA jack of each transceiver.
2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the “left” [V/M] key on each radio
while turning the power on again.
3. Rotate the “right” DIAL knob on each radio to select (CLONE START), then press the
[SET] key. The display will disappear for a moment, then the “CLONE” notation will
appear on the display.
4. On the “destination” radio, press the “left” [LOW] key. The “CLONE -RX-” indicator
will appear on the display.
5. Now, on the “source” radio, press the “left” [V/M] key. The “CLONE -TX-” indicator will
appear on the display, and the cloning data transfer will immediately begin.
6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “CLONE ERROR” will be displayed.
Check your cable connections, and try again.
7. If cloning was successful, the “CLONE -RX-” and “CLONE -TX-” indicators will disap-
pear.
8. Turn both transceivers off, then remove the Cloning Cable. Channel and operating data
for both radios are now identical. They both may be turned on now for normal operation.
