DPH: Using the Channel Priority Function video
DPH Troubleshooting:
When DPH (brick) radio display reads { ------CH--------} and will not change by turning channel knob, it is stuck in "Group Scan" mode and the screen will not change by changing channels. Not good.
Follow these steps:
hit FCN -screen reads> TRN DIR
hit FCN -screen reads > GRP SCN (flashing)
hit PRI -screen reads > GRP SCN (not flashing)
hit ENT - screen reads normally with channel it is on

- KNG p150S Cloning Tips
Cloning from the older(larger "Brick") Bendix King DPH (or GPH) to the KNG follows the same procedure as cloning from the DPH to a DPH(GPH).
Choosing which "Group" to clone the new set of channels is different ,as is the cable.
What is referred to as "Groups" in the DPH is known as "Zones" in the KNG. To change zones press button under "zone" . Then press up or down arrows to desired number and press "Enter"(in this case the "square" button")

On DPH quickly press " * " then "FCN".
DPH should slowly flash "PROG". p150S should read"Lgcy Programming"for a few seconds. If DPH reads "Fail" try again.
