Memory Cloning - Yaesu FT-23R MKII Operating Manual

A special function of the FT-23R
transferred to another set without re-entering data from the keypad. This function requires
a user-constructed cable to connect the EAR jack on the source transceiver to the MIC jack
on the transceiver to be programmed, and the Clone switch inside the rubber PTT switch
cover to be set to ON, as shown below.
Cloning Procedure
r Turn the power switch off, and carefully pry out the rubber cover over the PTT switch.
Locate the Clone miniature slide switch in the
lower part of the opening, and set this switch to
its alternate position. Repeat with the other trans-
ceiver.
r Connect the EAR jack of the source transceiver
to the MIC jack of the target transceiver using a
2-conductor shielded cable.
r Turn on the transceivers. All display digits should be blinking.
r Press the [ q ] key on the target transceiver . The display should stop blinking and
remain either on or off (either is acceptable).
r Press the [ p ] key on the source transceiver. The data from Memory [ 0 ] in the source
transceiver should now appear on the display of the target transceiver, as all other
memory data is being transferred (If not, check your cable).
r If "Err" is displayed on the target transceiver, switch the power off and on, and repeat
the last two steps.
r After the data has been transferred (a few seconds), turn the radio off, reset the Clone
switches to their original position, and replace the rubber covers.
