PC Programming Of YOUR Radio! (NEW TRICK)

Here is a neat trick. I recently found this note about how to use a pc (or tape recorder) to "trick" your radio into thinking its being cloned from another radio. This only works with radios that have a cloning feature built in.

Those radios have a cloning cable which is really just an audio cable. You connect the cable from the master radio's speaker jack to the slave radio's microphone jack and then begin the cloning procedure. Read on for how this can be done with only ONE radio!

This is a NEAT way to save your frequencies and settings in case they are ever lost out of the radio. I welcome your comments. N7OZH

Hi there, recently I discovered a way to program the TH-79 from Kenwood by computer (or anything else that can do the following).

This is what you have to do: program the radio by hand. For example, program all your repeaters and local frequencies in it.

Then, set up a receiver at the same frequency as the radio and connect it to your PC. When you start cloning from the TH-79, simply record the file and store it.

Now, program the radio with other frequencies (i.e. from another country, police, ship-frequencies etc.) and do the same.

Anytime you want to program your radio with another set of channels, play the file in front of a mike or connected to another radio and "clone" the portable with its own files!
Works great!
