Limited Cloning
A limited clone may be used when all the system keys required to perform a full clone are not available. When a
limited clone is performed, all trunking information, which existed in the “source” radio , will be deleted or changed
to default data. Re-entry of trunking information will be required. The steps below will guide you in performing a
limited clone.
1.Use the GET/SAVE functions to read (F3/F2) the radio codeplug to be cloned. That is the “source” codeplug.
An archive file may also be used as the “source” codeplug.
2.Press the Limited Clone function key (F4) on the TRUNKED CLONING screen. At this point all the trunking
data in the “source” codeplug will be deleted or defaulted. This includes all trunking system and trunking
personality data. Zone/Channel, Conventional, Phone List, Call list and Scan List data will be preserved.
Warning
Do NOT program this image into the original radio unless you want all the trunking data to be
deleted.
3.Enter the serial number of the radio to be cloned or press F2to read the serial number from the connected
radio. The F2function will not be allowed prior to step 2 unless system keys are present. At this point in time
you will have a codeplug image for the “target” radio which contains the conventional data and radio wide
data from the “source” radio and no trunking data. You may operate on the codeplug image in the same
fashion as any other codeplug image. It may be archived, edited or programmed into the “target” radio.
Normally you will proceed to step 4.
4.Go to the TCMS merge screen (F3/F4). Merge the new “target” codeplug with the file downloaded from
TCMS for the “target” radio. You now have a “target” codeplug image which contains the conventional and
radio wide data from the “source” radio, and the trunking data from the TCMS merge.
5.Program the target radio by pressing F8from the normal programming screen (F3/F8) or the cloning screen
(F3/F5).
6.Archive the “target” codeplug image.
NOTE
A radio and RIB must be properly connected to the computer and power turned on before you
attempt the READ function.
The time required to READ a codeplug will depend directly on your computer type and the size of
the codeplug you are reading. The status of the READ operation is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
FUNCTION KEY DESCRIPTIONS:
F1 - HELPprovides useful information about the currently displayed menu, screen, or field.
F2 -READ SER NUMBER Reads the serial number from the target radio so it can be correctly placed within
the workspace.
F3 - CONV ID (Conventional ID) navigates you to a screen where you assign the MDC IDs. This function will
only be active when a trunking-capable radio is being cloned.
F4 - LIMITED CLONE This function is used for cloning the Conventional and Radio Wide sections of the
codeplug. This deletes the Trunking data and reads the serial number from the radio. Trunking System
keys (or FTR Key) are required for cloning the Trunking System data. Limited Clone requires the target
radio to be connected so that the serial number can be read.
F6 -DUPLICATEII/IIiID duplicates the selected Type II/IIi ID (the one under the cursor) into all other Type II/IIi
personalities for which system keys are present.
