Cloning

The VX-900 includes a convenient “Clone” feature,

which allows the programming data from one trans-

ceiver to be transferred to another VX-900. Here is

the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to an-

other.

1. Turn both transceivers off.

2. Remove the plastic cap and its two mounting

screws from the MIC/SP jack on the right side of

the transceiver. Do this for both transceivers.

3. Connect the optional CT-72 cloning cable be-

tween the MIC/SP jacks of the two transceivers.

4. Press and hold the PTT and Monitor (just below

the PTT) switches while turning the transceiver

on. Do this for both transceivers (the order of the

switch-on does not matter). “CLONE” will ap-

pear on the displays of both transceivers when

Clone mode is successfully activated in this step.

5. On the Destination transceiver, press the Moni-

tor switch (“LOADING” will appear on the LCD).

6. Press the PTT switch on the Source transceiver;

“SENDING” will appear on the Source transceiv-

er, and the data transferred.

7. If there is a problem during the cloning process,

“ERR” will be displayed. Check your cable con-

nections and battery voltage, and try again.

8. If the data transfer is successful, the display re-

turn to “CLONE”. Turn both transceivers off and

disconnect the CT-72. You can then turn the trans-

ceivers back on, and begin normal operation.

9. Replace the plastic cap and its two mounting

screws.
