How Do I Program My Bendix King Radio

With BK Radios you have a variety of options for pragramming your radio. Below we explain your various programming options.

Computer Programming

Awesome Because:

Access to all options and features in the radio
Spreadsheet style for easier use
Help file for reference

If you have a Legacy Radio (GPH, DPH, GPH-CMD, DPH-CMD, EMV, EMH, GMH, DMH, LPH, or EPH) you will use PC programming cable LAA0725 and corresponding software for your radio.

If you have a KNG mobile or portable you will use PC programming cable KAA0710 and programming software KAA0732

Cloning

Awesome Because:

You can easily clone the programming data in an existing BK Radio over to another radio
You can clone between a mobile and a portable or differnt models of radios
You can clone out in the field without a computer

Use this table to determine which cloning cable you need.

Keypad Programming aka Field Programming

Awesome Because:

From the keypad of your BK Radio you can enter your TX and RX information, as well as your PL Tone to talk on that channel immediately
Useful when you want to talk to any other radio and don't have the channel preprogrammed into your radio.

Field programming must be "ENABLED" on your KNG via pc programming or ordered with that featured enabled. Legacy BK Radios come out of the box with field programming enabled, but require a LAA0701 Programming plug to be connected to the radio to put the radio into field programming mode.
