BK RADIOPage 2-1SECTION IIINSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING2.1 GENERAL INFORMATIONThis section contains information concerning the installation and programming of BK Radio GMHSeries radios.2.1.1 Unpacking and Inspecting EquipmentExercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit forevidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shippingcontainer to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the transportationcompany. It would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after all equipment hasbeen removed in the event that equipment storage or reshipment should become necessary.2.1.2 InstallationPlan your installation carefully. Locate the radio and microphone within easy reach, giving theoperator a clear view of the display. Do not locate the radio or microphone in a position that interfereswith safe operation of the vehicle.Once the equipment location is chosen, determine the best routing for cables and wires to connectthe system. Use a rubber grommet to protect the wires when passing through sheet metal. Avoid anyroute that subjects the wire to pinching, cutting, or high heat from the engine or other vehiclecomponent.The radio must be used with a 12 volt, NEGATIVE GROUND electrical system. Refer to Figure 2-1.1. Crimp the fuse holder in line with the red power lead as close to the battery as possible.2. Connect the red power lead to the vehicle battery POSITIVE terminal. Using other positivevoltage points in the vehicle is not recommended.3. Connect the black lead to a good ground point on the vehicle chassis. Connection to thenegative battery terminal is not recommended.4. Mount the antenna carefully. Follow the instructions supplied with the antenna kit. Route thecoax cable to the radio mounting location.5. Fasten the mounting bracket securely to the desired location.6. Mount the microphone clip securely to the desired location. The microphone hanger clip mustbe grounded for proper radio operation. Use the supplied ground wire if needed.7. Mount any approved accessory speakers and route the wires to the rear of the radio bracket.8. Connect the power lead, antenna connector, and accessory wires to the rear of the radio.9. Place the radio in the mounting bracket, adjust to the proper mounting angle, and thread inthe two side mounting knobs until the unit is secure.NOTE: Option A and B connections are logic level outputs. Consult your BK Radio dealer beforeconnecting accessories to these pins.

GMH Series VHF Radio Installation and ProgrammingBK RADIOPage 2-132.3 CLONING RADIO SETTINGSA portable radio with a keyboard and display can transfer its programmed settings to an GMH radioby using a cloning cable. A radio cannot transfer Alphanumeric display settings, including channellabels and group labels.Both units must be of the same frequency band. Settings for any group in a portable radio can bedownloaded to any group in the GMH radio. The GMH radio must be programmed with groups of 14channels. Cloning can only be accomplished group by group. To perform group cloning:1. With the portable radio in normal operation mode,press the [#] key followed by number keys to selectthe group to be downloaded.2. Set the GMH radio to the group that is to receive thedownload, using the same method as in step 1, orby pressingthe GRP button and turning the ChannelSelect knob.3. Connect the Master end of the cloning cable into themicrophone connector of the portable radio. This isthe cable end with the pushbutton Master switch.4 Put the portable radio into programming mode byholding down the Master switch and pressing the[FCN] key until the display shows ---ID.5. Enter the correct Password Code.6. Press the [FCN] key repeatedly to review the valuesin Channel 0. Make any required changes at thistime.7. Attach the other end of the cloning cable into themicrophone connector of the EM H radio to becloned.8. Press the [*] key on the portable radio. The displaywill flash PROG, signifying that the radio is ready todownload.9. Press the [FCNJ key. The program in the portablewill download to the GMH. The GMH will send backthe program to the portable to verify successfulcloning.10. If the download was successful, the portable radiowill resume flashing PROG. Turn off the GMH radio.Disconnect the cable. Normal radio operation willoccur the next time the GMH radio is turned on.11. If the download was not successful the portableradio will flash FAIL, followed by continuous beeps.Failure to download the portable program can bedue to:A. Incorrect radio types.B. Improper connection.C. Failure to power up radio.NOTE: To stop FAIL mode, press the [CLR] key,turn off the radios, and start again at Step 1.
Installation and Programming GMH Series VHF RadioPage 2-14BK RADIO2.3.1 Special Cloning InstructionsIt is possible to change Channel 0 values on the portable radio, hold them in a temporary memory,and download them to the GMH without actually entering them into the permanent memory of theportable radio. This is convenient for sequential identification numbers used to identify a series ofportables in a radio system. Assuming that the frequencies, Code Guard values, and other Ch 0values are common for all radios in the system, but that the radio identification number should beunique to each radio, the following method would be used to clone additional radios for the system.1. Program the portable radio with all frequencies,Code Guard values, and Channel 0 values that willbe common to all GMH radios to be cloned.2. Advance the display to show the portable radio's IDnumber-for example, 100.3. Press the [CLR] key; press 125. Do not press the[ENT] key. Now 125 is in temporary memory.4. Press the [*] key, connect the cable to the radiosand download to the GMH by pressing the [FCN]key. ID number 125 is now stored in permanentmemory of the GMH.5. After download, press the [CLR] key on the portableradio. Disconnect the GMH. The portable radiodisplay will show that 125 is still being held in thetemporary memory of the portable radio.6. Press the [PRI] key. This will increment the IDnumber one digit to 126. (Note: any new number canbe entered at this point by pressing the [CLR] keyand using the digit keys to enter the new number.)7. Press the [*] key. Connect the cable to the secondGMH and download by pressing [FCN].8. Any number of radios can be coded with different orsequential ID numbers using this technique. The IDnumber in the permanent memory of the portableradio will remain unchanged as 100.2.3.2 Scan List and Priority Channel CloningWhen a portable radio downloads to an GMH, theScan List and Priority Channel designations are alsotransferred to the GMH. This includes Priority Modeand any lockout functions.To program an GMH with a specific Priority Mode,Priority Channel, and Scan List along with therespective lockout functions (if desired), the portableradio must first be programmed with theseparameters. The lockout functions cannot be held intemporary memory. See the appropriate operatingprocedures in Section 3 for selecting the Scan List,Priority Channel, and Lockout functions. See"Priority Scan" on page 2-6 for Priority Modeselection procedures.

Contact BK Radio for theprogramming cable, software, and manual required.2.3.3 Tone Code Guard ValuesThe 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 beselected from the following EIA list. In order to insure optimum performance, tone selection for use onthe same radio frequency (RF) channel or adjacent channels in the same coverage area should bemade from one of the Groups A, B, or C to the maximum degree possible. BENDIX/KINGguarantees optimum receiver performance only if tone frequencies below 220 Hz are chosen.GROUPA GROUPB GROUPC67.0 (XZ) *151.4 (5Z) 71.9 (XA) 146.2 (4B) 74.477.0 (XB) 162.2 (5B) 82.5 (YZ) 156.7 (5A) 79.788.5 (YB) 173.8 (6A) 94.8 (ZA) 167.9 (6Z) 85.4 (YA)*100.0 (1Z) 186.2 (7Z) 103.5 (1A) *179.9 (6B) 91.5 (ZZ)107.2 (1B) 203.5 (M1) 110.9 (2X) 192.8 (7A)114.8 (2A) 218.1 (M3) *118.8 (2B) 210.7 (M2)123.0 (3Z) 233.6 127.3 (3A) 225.7 (M4)131.8 (3B) 250.3 136.5 (4Z) 241.8141.3 (4A)* 50/60 Hz power distribution systems could cause falsing.The assignments in a given area shall be made from within one of the Groups: A, B, or C.2.3.4 Digital Code Guard ValuesCodes for the Digital Code Guard system may be chosen from the following list.
