Transfer Data between two FT−8900Rs
You can transfer all data stored in one FT−8900R to another FT−8900R by utilizing the handy
Cloning feature. This requires a user-constructed Cloning cable which connects the DATA
jacks on the two transceivers, as shown below.
To clone from one transceiver to another:
1. Insert the Cloning Cable into the DATA jack of each transceiver.
2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the Left key on each radio
while turning the power on again.
3. Rotate the Right DIAL knob on each radio to select CLONE START, then press the
SET key. The display will disappear for a moment, then the CLONE notation will appear
on the display.
4. On the destination radio, press the Left key. The CLONE -RX- indicator will
appear on the display.
5. Now, on the source radio, press the Left key. The CLONE -TX- indicator will
appear on the display, and the cloning data transfer will immediately begin.
If there is a problem during the cloning process, CLONE ERROR will be
displayed. Check your cable connections, and try again.
If cloning was successful, the CLONE -RX- and CLONE -TX- indicators will
disappear.
6. Turn both transceivers off, then remove the Cloning Cable. 0.
Channel and operating data for both radios are now identical. They both may be turned on
now for normal operation.
