How to Clone an APX4000 with 1 knob to an APX4000 with 2 knobs

 

Environment

APX4000

1 knob

2 knob

Resolution

Cloning is not supported between 1-knob and 2-knob radio.

APX4000 either 1 knob or 2 knob - no model kit difference (i.e. H51UCF9PW6AN)

This is a known limitation and is not a defect.

 

Workaround:

1- Open the 1-knob customer codeplug that will be used to clone from in one session of the CPS.

2- Open the 2-knob default codeplug in the 2-knob radio in a second CPS session

3- Top node Drag&drop from session 1 to session 2. Configure the radio knobs (under Radio Ergonomics -> Controls -> Switches) in the newly modified codeplug and save it. 

4- Use this newly modified 2-knob codeplug to clone the new 2-knob radios.

Note: When doing a Top Node Drag & Drop between a 1-knob and 2-knob radio the settings for the radio knobs do not change, therefore they need to be configured to the desired functionality. It does not matter if it is 2-knob to 1-knob or 1-knob to 2-knob.
