MDC1200 is a signaling protocol designed and 

implemented by Motorola for analog channels only. 
The following features of this protocol are supported. 
Either MDC1200 or standard DTMF ANI/Emergency 
signaling can be programmed on each conventional 
system. 

MDC1200 ANI - Both pre and post ANI are 
supported.

MDC1200 Emergency Alert - A retry counter is 
implemented. Currently, ACKs are not decoded so the 
radio retrys the programmed number of times with 
each emergency.

5.16.1  GENERAL

The Clone feature enables one radio to program 

another with identical information. The PCConfigure 
programming software is not required. This feature is 
is not available with 53xx mobiles. Other requirements 
are as follows:

•

The Clone menu parameter must be enabled in the 
master (sending) radio. This parameter is not 
required with the slave (receiving) radio. 

•

The master and slave radios must be identical 
models (same frequency range and options). 

Only zones with conventional analog and P25 

channels can be transferred using this function. Any 
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked informa-
tion is not transferred. In addition, the P25 Unit ID, 
encryption keys, and the RSI ID and other OTAR 
information are not transferred. Cloned zones are indi-
cated in the slave radio by an asterisk in the first char-
acter position of the zone alias (the first character is 
replaced by this asterisk).

5.16.2  WIRELESS CLONING

A new wireless cloning feature is available that 

allows one radio to program another using an RF link 
instead of having to be physically connected by a 
cloning cable. This feature is available on P25 conven-
tional channels only. 

The wireless cloning feature utilizes the P25 data 

functionality of the radio. Therefore, a conventional 
P25 channel must be programmed in both radios and 
the slave radio must have been programmed with a 
P25 Unit ID. In addition, Data Registration must be 
enabled in both radios. If it is not programmed, 
“Disabled” is displayed. Radios with wireless cloning 
capability have a new selection in the cloning menu to 
select either Clone N (Normal) or Clone W (Wireless). 
If Wireless is selected, an additional menu is displayed 
for entering the P25 Unit ID of the destination radio 
(slave). The Zone/Complete mode is then selected. 

5.16.3  CLONING PROCEDURE

1. With normal (non-wireless) cloning, connect the 

master (sending) radio to the slave (receiving) radio 
using Cloning Cable, Part No. 023-5100-930.

2. On the master radio, select the Clone menu param-

eter and press the F2 key. If applicable, select either 
“Clone W” (Wireless) or “Clone N” (Normal). If 
normal cloning was selected or if this is not select-
able, proceed to step 4.

3. With wireless cloning, a screen is then displayed for 

entering the P25 Unit ID of the destination (slave) 
radio. Enter this ID using the keypad (or the Up/
Down keys) and F2. 

4. The clone mode “Zone” or “Complete” is then 

selected. Select the desired mode. Operation is as 
follows:

Zone - This mode allows channel information for 
only the selected zone to be transferred. Informa-
tion programmed on the Global, Radio Wide, and 
By System screens is not changed. A list of the 
current conventional zones is displayed. Select the 
desired zone by highlighting it and pressing the F2 
key. A selected zone is indicated by an asterisk (*). 
Scroll to “OK” and press F2 to begin the data 
transfer. The selected zone in the slave radio is 
overwritten. Previously, multiple zones could be 
selected and they were appended to those in the 
slave radio.

Complete - This mode transfers all conventional 
programming information. This includes informa-
tion on the Global, Radio Wide, and By System 
screens. Simply highlight “Complete” and press the
