Introduction
The KAA0700 Cloning Cable o󰀨ers radio users to ability to share
programmed information between KNG portable radios.
Operation
The Source radio is a radio programmed with the desired radio
frequencies and settings you wish to transfer to another radio of the
same frequency range.
In order to clone radio information the Source radio must have a menu
item programmed, via PC Radio Editor KAA0730, to allow cloning.
(Refer to the “Menus/Controls” section of the radio editor.)
The radio receiving the program is referred to as the Target.
Target radios can be programmed to block incoming cloning information
on a zone by zone basis.
KNG radios only allow one cloning option: Active Zone.
KNG-S radios allow for three cloning options: Active Zone, Zone-to-Zone
or Entire Radio.
Active Zone - Copies the information in the Source radio’s active zone
to the Target radio’s active zone.
Zone-to-Zone - Allows for selection of any zone in the source radio to
be copied into any non-blocked zone in the Target radio (functional on
KNG-S to KNG-S cloning only.)
Entire Radio - Copies all non radio specic data from the Source radio
to the Target radio. Radio specic data includes P25 ID, serial number,
encryption keys and passwords. (functional on KNG-S to KNG-S cloning
only.)

Zone Cloning Information
Cloned zone information includes:
Channel and Zone Labels Bandwidth
Frequencies Low Power Selection
Operating Modes ANI Settings
Code Guards (CG)* Zone Priority Settings
Network Access Codes
(NAC)*
Zone Scan List Selection
Squelch Operation Security Settings**
Talk Groups* OTAR Channel**
Scan List
*If picklist selections are assigned in the source radio, the associated
value will be cloned to the target radio. For instance, if a channel has a
picklist selected NAC whose value is $123, then $123 will be sent to the
target radio. The target radio picklists will not be a󰀨ected.
**Security and OTAR functions require radio encryption options.
Encryption keys are not clonable.
NOTE: Some zones may be blocked by PC programming to prevent them
from being overwritten. Only unlocked zones will accept incoming clones.
Entire Radio Cloning Information
When “Entire Radio” is selected from the cloning menu, information
from the all zones is sent to the corresponding zones of the radio being
cloned.
NOTE: Radios programmed with any zone(s) blocked from receiving
cloning information will not accept an “Entire Radio” clone.
Entire Radio cloning transfers all radio information except the following:
Radio Serial Number
P25 Identication Number
Encryption Keys
Passwords

display “Source Clone Error” and require
radio power to be cycled.
If a KNG targeted zone is blocked
from cloning the target will display the
“Destination Clone Locked” message and
