Introduction
This manual covers information used to program G-Series and D-Series
BK Radio models, both portables and mobiles, via the radio’s keypad.
Not all functions are available on all models. For instance, G-Series
radios are not capable of digital operation so functions pertaining to
digital operation will not appear when programming the radio.
In addition, the information in this manual can be referenced to program
older L-Series and E-Series radios.
Radio Programming Options
There are three different ways to program BK Radio radios:
KEYPAD - A radio can be programmed with it’s keypad and a
LAA0701 programming plug or cloning cable, LAA0700 or G/ECC.
This manual describes these procedures.
CLONING - You can transfer the programmed settings to another
radio of the same frequency band by using a cloning cable. See the
“Cloning Radio Settings” section of this manual.
PC - With a computer, proper programming software, and LAA 0725
interface cable. That procedure is not described in this manual.
Contact BK Radio for the required programming cable and software.
Radio Models
Instructions for keypad programming of the following models are covered
in this manual.
GPH Standard analog portable
GPH-XP Standard analog portable, extended frequency range
GPH-CMD Command analog portable
DPH Standard digital/analog portable
DPHX Standard digital/analog portable, extended frequency range
DPH-CMD Command digital/analog portable
GMH Standard analog mobile
GMH-XP Standard analog mobile, extended frequency range
DMH Standard digital/analog mobile, extended frequency range

2 BK Radio Programming Manual
Entering the Programming Mode
NOTE: Specic settings may be blocked from keypad programming
when using the Group or Zone password. Using the Master password
overrides these selections and allows for access to all programmable
functions.
Portable Radios
Make sure the battery pack is charged.
Some models are shipped with a door covering the keypad and display.
Before programming, remove the door by removing the battery pack,
engaging the door just below the speaker grill, and sliding the door
downward.

Plug
Insert the programming plug into the side
connector of the radio. The push-button

NOTE: The cloning cable can be used
as a substitute for the programming plug
by inserting the end with the push-button
master switch into the side connector of the
radio.
Select a channel group to be programmed
See “Select A Group/Channel” in the
Owner’s Manual.
Press and hold the master switch.
While holding the master switch, press and hold the [FCN] key. After
approximately three seconds the LCD will display ‘- - - ID.’
Release the [FCN] key and the master switch. The radio is now in the
Password Entry Mode.
Enter the six-digit password code for the selected group. Without the
correct password code, you cannot proceed with programming.
NOTE: New radios shipped from the factory are assigned the
password code 000000.

transmitted as a DTMF tone burst for ANI purposes. The ANI can be
enabled or disabled. See “ANI/DTMF Mode” on page 10 of this
manual.
If no change is needed for the ID number, press the [FCN] key to
advance to the next eld.

Priority 1 Channel
After the Scan Delay is set, the display will indicate ‘PRG PR1.’ The
Priority 1 Channel can be programmed as a xed channel, tied to
the Channel Selector knob, or programmed OFF. If the radio is
programmed to transmit on the Priority 1 Channel, transmissions will
occur on PR1, if PR1 isn’t programmed OFF, when operating in Single
or Dual Priority Scan Mode.
If PR1 is a xed channel, and the [PRI] key on the keypad is not locked
out, during normal radio operation the user can move the channel
selector to a new channel and press the [PRI] key to choose a new
PR1 channel.
