Introduction
The KAA0701 Cloning Cable offers radio users to ability to share
programmed information between KNG portable and mobile radios and/
or other BK Radio legacy models.
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, 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.
The KAA0701 Cloning Cable requires the use of a KNG or KNG-S model
as either the Source or Target radio.
KNG as Source Radio
Connect the KAA0701 Cloning Cable to the side connector of the Source
and Target radios and power up both radios.
NOTE: Insure that all scan functions are turned off prior to cloning.
MOBILE NOTE: Microphone must be attached at power-up prior to cloning.

On the source radio select the zone with the information to be cloned by
pressing the Zone button, or selecting “Zone Select” from the menu, then
entering the number of the desired zone.
On the target radio select the Zone or Group to which the information is
to be sent.
For Legacy radio models select a target group by pressing the [#] key
and entering the number of the desired group.
Some zones may be blocked by PC programming to prevent them from
being overwritten. Only unlocked groups will accept incoming clones.

KNG-S Model Cloning
KNG-S radios allow for three cloning options:
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.
Entire Radio - Copies all non radio specic data from the Source
radio to the Target radio. Radio specic data includes P25 ID, serial
number, encryption keys and passwords.
Zone-to-Zone and Entire Radio cloning are available only when cloning
between two KNG-S models and not supported by other KNG portables,
mobiles or legacy radios.
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 affected.
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 Target radio.
NOTE: Radios programmed with any zones 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 Encryption Keys
P25 Identication Number Passwords

Legacy Radio Cloning
Information programmed in some older BK Radio models can be cloned
to KNG models.
Cloning compatible models include: DPHX5102X, GPH5102XP, DPHX-
CMD, GPH-CMD, DMH, GMH Plus and most GPH portable models.
NOTE: E-Series portables are not cloning compatible with KNG models.
NOTE: Earlier BK Radio models use the term “Group” instead of “Zone”.

Cloneable Information
Cloning Information
A KNG Source Radio sends only information the Target Radio requires.
For example, digital settings such as Network Access Codes will not be
transferred to analog only models like the GPH.
Channel Capacity Considerations
When a KNG Source zone is programmed with less channels than a
Legacy Target radio, channels about the highest programmed Source
channel will be set to inactive.
A KNG Target zone will assume the channel structure of the Source
radio. Example: Cloning from a DPHX5102X will enable sixteen channels
in the targeted KNG. Cloning from a KNG with a ve channel zone will
enable only ve channels in the target radio.
KNG radios do not allow a receive frequency of 0. When a Legacy
Source radio channel has no programmed receive frequency, the KNG
Target will substitute 136MHz.
Picklist Capable Target Radio Considerations
If picklist selections are assigned in the source radio, and the target
radio is capable of picklist selections, 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
radios picklist. The target radio 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
• Legacy Target radio in programming Mode
• Incompatible Target radio
• Cable unplugged
