Cloneable Information
Channel Capacity Considerations
When a Source radio’s zone is programmed with less channels than a
Target radio, channels about the highest programmed Source channel
will be set to inactive.
A Target radio’s zone will assume the channel structure of the Source
radio. Example: Cloning from a Source radio with a five channel zone will
enable only five channels in the Target radio.
BKR portable radios do not allow a receive frequency of 0. When a
Source radio channel has no programmed receive frequency, the Target
radio will substitute 136MHz.
Picklist Capable Target Radio Considerations
If picklist selections are assigned in the Source radio, the associated
picklist reference will be cloned to the Target radio. For example, if a
channel has a picklist selection of Tone 3, then a picklist reference of
3 will be sent to the Target radio and the Target radio will use the value
stored in the 3 position of the radio’s picklist. The Target radio’s picklists
will not be affected.

If the cloning process fails or the Target radio’s zone is blocked from
accepting an incoming clone, a fail message will appear on the Source
radio.
Failure of downloading can be due to:
• Zone programmed to block clone • Improper connection
• Failure to turn on the Target radio • Incompatible Target radio
• Cable unplugged
