TH78A.12
      
CLONING:
The TH-78a can be cloned  without cloning cables or  special equipment.  This
"cloning" will allow the entire contents of the memory  to be transmitted and
stored in another TH-78a.  The TH-78a cloning proceedure is accomplished over
air with the two TH-78a  units on  the same frequency.  Placing  them side by 
side on a simplex frequency is best but you can clone over a repeater (if you
don't  time it out  or make the  owner mad) if  desired.  This "undocumented"
feature  can be of great use if fleets  of radios are purchased for clubs  or
user groups and all need similar programming.  It's important to keep in mind
that with the ME-1 memory expansion module installed the cloning can take  up
to an hour.  Your best move is to use 2 dummy loads side by side.
 
PROCEEDURE:
(1) Both radios must be on the same frequency.
 
(2) Activate both  radios by pressing the "0" key while turning the power on.
The lower radio displays will read "CLONE".
 
(3) Now, click the  PTT of the  "master" radio.  The radio will  transmit  on
the selected  frequency in the "economy low"  power mode.  You will  hear the
DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) touch  tones come  out of the  speaker as
the radio transmits the contents of it's memory.  The full transfer will take
about 4  minutes for  fifty channels.  When  the data  has been  transferred,
both radios  will revert back  to the original frequency.
 
(4) Turn both radios off, and then on again.  They will now operate  normally
and the memory contents of both radios will be the same.
