Introduction
This manual covers information used to program G-Series and D-Series
BK Radio models, both portables and mobiles, via the radio’s keypad.
Not all functions are available on all models. For instance, G-Series
radios are not capable of digital operation so functions pertaining to
digital operation will not appear when programming the radio.
In addition, the information in this manual can be referenced to program
older L-Series and E-Series radios.
Radio Programming Options
There are three different ways to program BK Radio radios:
KEYPAD - A radio can be programmed with it’s keypad and a
LAA0701 programming plug or cloning cable, LAA0700 or G/ECC.
This manual describes these procedures.
CLONING - You can transfer the programmed settings to another
radio of the same frequency band by using a cloning cable. See the
“Cloning Radio Settings” section of this manual.
PC - With a computer, proper programming software, and LAA 0725
interface cable. That procedure is not described in this manual.
Contact BK Radio for the required programming cable and software.
Radio Models
Instructions for keypad programming of the following models are covered
in this manual.
GPH Standard analog portable
GPH-XP Standard analog portable, extended frequency range
GPH-CMD Command analog portable
DPH Standard digital/analog portable
DPHX Standard digital/analog portable, extended frequency range
DPH-CMD Command digital/analog portable
GMH Standard analog mobile
GMH-XP Standard analog mobile, extended frequency range
DMH Standard digital/analog mobile, extended frequency range
2 BK Radio Programming Manual
Entering the Programming Mode
NOTE: Specic settings may be blocked from keypad programming
when using the Group or Zone password. Using the Master password
overrides these selections and allows for access to all programmable
functions.
Portable Radios
Make sure the battery pack is charged.
Some models are shipped with a door covering the keypad and display.
Before programming, remove the door by removing the battery pack,
engaging the door just below the speaker grill, and sliding the door
downward.

Programming
Plug
Insert the programming plug into the side
connector of the radio. The push-button
master switch will be on the top.
NOTE: The cloning cable can be used
as a substitute for the programming plug
by inserting the end with the push-button
master switch into the side connector of the
radio.
Select a channel group to be programmed
See “Select A Group/Channel” in the
Owner’s Manual.
Press and hold the master switch.

Option 2-2/3: Busy Channel Operation
2-- 12345
PRG
Functions two and three are used to set
Busy Channel operation. There are three
types of busy channel operation available.
They are described more fully under “Busy
Channel” in the Owner’s Manual.
Busy Channel Modes include:
Busy Channel Indicator - The yellow LED illuminates when a
signal is received on the channel selected, with or without the
programmed receive Code Guard setting.
Busy Channel Lockout - The yellow LED illuminates and the
transmitter PTT is disabled when a signal is received without the
programmed receive Code Guard setting.
Busy Channel Override - This function is similar to Busy Channel
Lockout except the transmitter PTT can be activated by rotating the
Squelch knob clockwise off the Code Guard detent.
To set Busy Channel operation, use the following chart:

When function 4 is enabled (ashing) the
ANI ID number will be transmitted (as a
DTMF tone sequence) with each press of
the PTT switch. See “Automatic Numeric
Identication (ANI)” on page 5 of this manual
for instructions on setting the ANI number.
When function 5 is enabled (ashing) the keypad becomes active for
manual DTMF operation.
When functions 4 and 5 are both enabled (ashing) the ANI tone
sequence will be transmitted only after the [ENT] key is pressed while
the transmit PTT switch is activated. A sidetone of the ANI number
transmitted will also be heard through the speaker.

CLONING RADIO SETTINGS
Any “Master” radio (a portable radio with the desired radio frequencies
and settings) is capable of transferring its program to another BK Radio
or “slave” radio. The radio receiving the program is referred to as the
“clone.” The LAA0700 or G/ECC cloning cable will be required in the
following procedure.
When using the G/ECC to clone like type radio models, the end marked
“G/D” should be connected to Master radio. When cloning between older
and newer radio types match the labels with the radio models. (See
“Radio Compatibility” charts for more information.)
NOTE: Some groups may be “locked” by PC programming to prevent
them from being overwritten. Only “unlocked” groups will accept
incoming clones.
What Clones
Information programmed in the selected group of a Master radio will be
cloned to the Slave radio.
When cloning between radio types, the Slave radio will ignore
information it does not use as channel or group information.
For instance, when using a DPH as the Master and a GPH-CMD as
the Slave, information such as mode setting will be ignored since the
GPH-CMD does not have digital operating ability.
Also when a Slave radio has more channels per group than the Master
radio, the extra channels will not be changed.

FAILURE
If the download was not successful, the
master will ash ‘FAILURE’ and multiple
beeps will follow.
Failure of downloading can be due to:
Improper connection•
Failure to turn on the clone•
Setting the clone in Programming Mode•
Target radio’s group ‘locked’ by PC Programming.•
NOTE: To stop the ‘FAILURE’ Mode, press [CLR], turn off both radios,
and try again, starting with Step 1
When nished cloning, turn off the Clone and disconnect the cloning
cable. Normal radio operation will occur when you turn on the Clone.

CTCSS CODE GUARD VALUES
The CTCSS 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 insure optimum 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.
Group A Group B Group C
67.0 (XZ) *151.4 (5Z) 71.9 (XA) 146.2 (4B) 74.4
77.0 (XB) 162.2 (5B) 82.5 (YZ) 156.7 (5A) 79.7
88.5 (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)

131.8 (3B) 250.3 136.5 (4Z) 241.8

* 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.

CDCSS CODE GUARD VALUES
Codes for the CDCSS Code Guard system may be chosen from the
following list. Since there are no EIA standards for the performance or
compatibility of CDCSS 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 transmit and
receive codes will require an inverted code to operate with existing
systems. This can be done during 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 systems
control and operational efciency. The system operator or engineer
should be consulted regarding the operational requirement on such
systems.
