Cloning - Yaesu VR-160 Operating Manual

C
LONING
The VR-160 includes a convenient "Clone" feature, which allows the memory and con-
figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VR-160. This can be
particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service opera-
tion. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio's data to another:
1. Turn both radios off.
2. Connect the after-market 3.5-mm stereo cable between the MIC/SP jacks of the two
radios.
3. Press and hold in the [ F/W ] key while turning the radios on. Do
this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter).
"CLONE" 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 [ V/M ] key (" - WAIT - " will
appear on the LCD).
5. Press the [ BAND ] key on the Source radio; " - - TX - - " will ap-
pear 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, the Destination radio returns to normal operation and
"CLONE" will reappear on the Source radio.
8. Turn both radios off and disconnect the cloning cable. You can then turn the radios
back on, and begin normal operation.
