Motorola HT1000 [UHF] Cloning Question:

[iamjimmy86]

I have a question regarding cloning an HT1000 into another HT1000:

Reading from the Motorola portable service manual for thr HT/Jedi/etc series radios it states that you can't clone a "BN/CN/etc model" into a "DN" model radio, but it states nothing about cloning a "DN" into a "BN/CN" model radio. If I follow through the steps to clone my 2 HT's (DN into my BN) will the radio successfully receive the program info? Or will it just beep/flash meaning error/fail to clone?

I didn't see any threads regarding in a quick search I did on the forums, so I apologize if I started a thread regarding a similar question. I haven't tried cloning yet as I'm still waiting for the cable in the mail along with an extra battery as I only have 1 battery for the pair right now.

If I recall correctly you can't clone a different model into another. You would have to enter the data manually unless it's a DN to DN or BN to BN etc

Model numbers have to match exactly for cloning.

Correct. Vhf to vhf DN to DN or vhf/vhf AN to AN. Uhf same applies and obviously you cannot clone uhf to vhf or vice versa or 800 mhz to either vice versa. Same model number, same band. Luckily being 16 channels it's pretty easy to manually enter the data on the ht1000.

Thank you for all the info fellow radio-lads. I received the cloning cable and extra battery in the mail today and I gave the cloning cable a try anyway, and of course it didn't work. But it was worth a try anyway. I'll just keep the cable in the event that I can find another DN model UHF HT1000.
