Each Digital Radio should have a different UID (User ID) that is assigned to only 1 radio not to be confused with Talkgroup which has to match in each radio.

If you just use the file you have then there would be 2 radios with the same ID and that could make life very confusing.

If they have displays yes, for group contacts on radios with no displays, we've had no issues re-using the ID's when we clone the radios for simplex use. They squawk then talk using the same ID made no difference to some we've programmed. I don't know enough about his radio to know if it has a display or not, I do know the Btech does. We've done several Motorola SL 300 2 channel radios and honestly no one even knew or cared what the Radio ID was.

That being said, by convention I agree, it's better to have a distinct ID in each radio in a user group.

Yes but if you are going to do something do it right the first time.
Cloning Radios with UID's just starts a bad habit and when you start using Repeaters you see the outcome.
Just do it correct the first time.

Agreed. Like I said by convention it's better to have different user ID's.

I will see if i can change the new radio id so it wont be confusing

As @buddrousa it's a good idea to not duplicate IDs. That being said, you need to look at the radio's CPS you do have, and see if you can figure out what kind of numbering system they're using and try to stay away from that type of numbering system. Obviously you may not have access to every radio in your group to check but, perhaps you can see what they're doing and do something totally different on yours. On your Btech you'll see a number pop up when they transmit, on the other radios I don't think they had a display so if that's the case they won't see anything. In both the ham and commercial programming we often assign those numbers to a contacts list so for instance when radio 001 keys up, I'll name that radio "Bob" in my list in my Motorola and that's what I'll see when Radio 001 keys up (Bob). This is just an example.

New radio showed up today I programmed it with the original program from the radio I was using with the team. I then tested it with my btech radio and it works. Thank you all that helped me figure it out.
