HOW TO PROGRAM RADIOS

There are three different ways to program Bendix/King radios:

*

**

**

By Keyboard A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can be

programmed by using its keyboard and a programming plug or
cloning cable. See Keyboard Programming on page 2.
By Cloning A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can transfer
its programmed settings to another radio of the same frequency
band by using a cloning cable. A radio cannot transfer its settings
for Alphanumeric display or optional boards such as UCOM,
scrambling, etc. See Cloning Radio Settings on page 20.
By Computer
using a special
described in this
cable, software,

A radio can be programmed from a computer by

RS-232 interface cable. That procedure is not
manual. Contact Bendix/King for the programming
and instruction manual.

KEYBOARD

PROGRAMMING

This section describes the procedures for programming Bendix/King

radios equipped with a keyboard and LCD display. Most of these
procedures are the same for diff erent types and models, with exceptions
noted where necessary. Required
equipment includes:
Portable radios --------------- programming plug or cloning cable
ENB and LMH mobiles ----- cloning cable
EMV and EMH mobiles----- LAA0290 keyboard microphone, when
available
1.

Remove the covers from the side

connector and the keyboard/display.

2.

Attach a charged battery pack

(portables) or 12V DC power source
(mobiles).

3.

Insert the programming plug or cloning

cable into the side connector
(portables) or mic connector (mobiles).

4.

Select the channel group to be

programmed.
(Not necessary in 14-channel radios.)
See Selecting a Group on page 19.

5.

Press and hold the master switch.

EMV and EMH: press and hold the far
right button on the front of the radio.

6.

While holding the master switch, press

and hold the [FCN] key. After
approximately three seconds the LCD
will display - - - ID.

7..

Release the [FCN] key and the master

switch. The radio is now in the
password entry mode.
LPH & LMH: no password functionskip steps 8 - 10.

8 . Enter the six-digit password code.

Without the correct password code,,
you cannot proceed with programming.

NOTE: The same password code is

used for all groups in the radio. New
radios are shipped from the factory
with the password code 000000
assigned.
While entering the password code the
display will not change, but a beep will
sound for each key pressed. If the
password code is entered incorrectly,
the radio will reset to normal operation.
Try again, starting at step 4.
9. To keep the password unchanged,
press the [ENT] key and continue with
normal radio programming.
To change the password, press the
[FCN] key and enter a new six-digit
password code. The digits are
displayed as you enter them.
NOTE: Do not use a 1 for the first digit
of the password code - the radio will
malfunction. The password code can
contain the digits 0 through 9, *, and #.
If you make an error entering the new
password code, press the [CLR] key
and try again.
10. Press the [ENT] key to store the new
password
and proceed to
programming mode. The display will
change to PRG Ch 00 (Alphanumeric
display) or PROG Ch 0 (standard 7Segment display).
GENERAL SETTINGS (CHANNEL 0)
Channel 0 is the portion of the program t hat controls general performance
variables for all the channels in a 14-channel radio. For a 21 O-channel
radio, the Channel 0 settings for each group must be programmed
separately.
Select the group to be programmed before entering
Programming Mode. See Selecting a Group on page 19.
NOTE: Settings listed as Group One, Group Two, and Group Three
settings refer to Channel 0 programming settings, not channel groups.

CLONING

RADIO

SETTINGS

A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can transfer its programmed
settings to another radio by using a cloning cable. Both units must be
of the same frequency band. For example, an EPH series VHF radio
can transfer settings to or from an LPH or LMH series radio. An EPV
series UHF radio can transfer settings to or from an LPV or EMV series
radio.
A radio cannot transfer Alphanumeric display settings, including channel
labels, group labels, and Channel 0 Group Three functions. Neither can
it transfer settings for optional boards such as UCOM, scrambling, etc.
The radio (with a keyboard and display) transferring its programmed
settings is referred to here as a Master unit. The radio receiving the
programmed settings is referred to here as a Clone unit.
1.

Make sure that both units are

connected to a charged battery pack.

2.

Attach the Master end of the cloning

cable into the side connector of the
Master radio. This is the cable end
with the push-button Master switch.

3.

Turn on the Master radio.

LPH and LMH: skip steps 4 and 5.

4.

Put the Master radio in programming

mode by holding down the Master
switch and pressing the [FCN] key
until the LCD displays - - - ID.

5.

Enter the correct Password Code and

press the [ENT] key.

6 . Press the [FCN] key repeatedly to

review the values in Channel 0. Make

any required changes at this time.
Attach the other end of the cloning
cable into the side connector or mic
connector of the radio to be cloned.
8 . Turn on the clone radio.
9 . Press the [*] key on the Master radio.

CLONING

INSTRUCTIONS

It is possible to change Channel 0 values on the Master radio, hold

them in a temporary memory, and download them to the clone
without actually entering them into the permanent memory of the
Master radio. This is convenient for sequential identification
numbers used to identify a series of portables in a radio system.
Assuming that the frequencies, Code Guard values, and other Ch
0 values are common for all radios in the system, but that the radio
identification number should be unique to each radio, the following
method would be used to clone additional radios for the system.

1. Program the Master radio with all

frequencies, Code Guard values, and
Channel 0 values that will be common
to all radios.

2. Advance the display to show the

Master radios ID number -. for
example, 100.

3.

Press the [CLR] key; press 1 25. Do

not press the [ENT] key. Now 125 is
in temporary memory.

4.

Press the
the radio
the [FCN]
stored in
clone.

5.

After download, press the [CLR] key.

Disconnect the clone. The Master
radio display will show that 125 is still
being held in the temporary memory
of the Master radio.

[*] key, connect the cable to

and download by pressing
key. ID number 125 is now
permanent memory of the

BENDIX/KING

6.

Press the [PRI] key. This will increment

the ID number one digit to 126.

NOTE: Any new number can be entered

at this point by pressing the [CLR] key
and using the digit keys to enter the
new number.

7.

Press the [*] key. Connect the cable

to the second clone and download by
pressing [FCN].

Any number of radios can be coded with different or sequential ID

numbers using this technique. The ID number in the permanent
memory of the Master radio will remain unchanged as 100.

SCAN LIST AND PRIORITY CHANNEL CLONING

When a Master radio downloads to a clone, the Scan List and Priority
Channel designations are also transferred to the clone. This includes
Priority Mode and any lockout functions.
To program a clone with a specific Priority Mode, Priority Channel, and
Scan List along with the respective lockout functions (if desired), the
Master radio must first be programmed with these parameters. The
lockout functions cannot be held in temporary memory. See Priority
Scan on page 8 and Busy Channel Operation on page IO. See
Change the Scan List and Change the Priority Channel in the
Owners manual.

TONE CODE GUARD VALUES

The tone Code Guard system may be set for any frequency in the range
of 67 to 255.9 Hz, However, since most systems adhere to the
Electronic industry Association (EIA) standards, tones should be selected
from the following EIA list. In order to insureoptimum performance, tone
selection for use on the same radio frequency (RF) channel or adjacent
channels in the same coverage area should be made from one of the
Groups A, B, or C to the maximum degree possible. BENDIX/KING
guarantees optimum receiver performance only if tone frequencies
below 220 Hz are chosen.

DIGITAL CODE GUARD VALUES

Codes for the Digital Code Guard system may be chosen from the
following list. Since there are no EIA standards for the performance or
compatibility of Digital Code Guard systems it is recommended that an
operational test be made on the intended system before wholesale
assignments are made. In some cases either or both the transmit and
receive codes will require an inverted code to operate with existing
systems. This can bedoneduring the code programming of the system.
Usually systems using direct unit to unit transmission (systems without
mobile relays, repeaters, remote control, etc) may use codes from the
table. Systems with relays etc. may use code variations for system
control and operational efficiency. The system operator or engineer
should be consulted regarding the operational requirement on such
systems.
