The FT-2800M includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FT-2800M. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation.
Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:
1. Turn both radios off.
2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable between the MIC jacks of the two radios.
3. Press and hold in the [MHz(SET)], [LOW(A/N)], and [D/MR(MW)] keys while turning
the radios on. Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). “TX RX”
will appear on the displays of both radios when the Clone mode is successfully activated
in this step.
4. On the Destination radio, press the [LOW(A/N)] key (“R” will appear on the LCD).
5. Press the [MHz(SET)] key on the Source radio; “T” will appear on the Source radio,
and the data from this radio will be transferred to the other radio.
6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “ERROR” will be displayed. Check your
cable connections and battery voltage, and try again.
7. If the data transfer is successful, “PASS” will appear on both displays.
8. Press any key to exit to normal operation.
9. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable.
