Cloning - Yaesu FT-2900R Operating Manual

The FT-2900R includes a convenient "Clone" feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another FT-2900R. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service opera-

2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable between the MIC jacks of the two radios.
3. Press and hold in the [ LOW ( A/N )] key while turning the radios on. Do this for both
