These are two distinct but related functions found in some advanced walkie-talkies (like YANTON T-U8 radio and T-360UV) that allow you to gather intelligence and replicate settings from other radios.

Frequency Decode: Is the "Listen and Identify" function.

Wireless Clone: Is the "Copy and Paste" function.

1. Frequency Decode

What it is:

This is a feature that allows the walkie-talkie to listen to a radio signal and determine the exact frequency on which that signal is being transmitted.

How it Works:

1. Set Radio A (receiver) to Channel 1 and turn it off.

2. Press and hold Side Button 1 on Radio A (receiver) while it is powered on. The radio will automatically announce "Entering Frequency Measurement Mode" and end with a beep.

3. Position Radio B (transmitter) approximately 1 meter from the Radio A. Press and hold the PTT button on Radio A (receiver) to transmit. The Radio A (receiver) will announce "Frequency Measurement Successful" and automatically save the channel. Radio A (receiver) and B (transmitter) can now communicate normally on the current channel.

4. Switching to another channel is similar to the above steps. Switch Radio A (receiver) to another channel, and Radio B (transmitter) will also switch channels. Press and hold the PTT button on Radio B (transmitter) to transmit. The Radio A (receiver) will announce "Frequency Measurement Successful" and automatically save the channel. Radio A (receiver) and B (transmitter) can now communicate normally on the current channel.

2. Wireless Clone

What it is:

This is a function that allows you to copy all the programming settings from one walkie-talkie to another of the same model, without using a computer or a cable. It transmits the configuration data wirelessly via radio signal.

How it Works:

1. Set Radio A (receiver) to Channel 2 and power off.

2. On Radio A (receiver), press and hold side button 1 and power on. After hearing the "Team Receive" tone, the transceiver enters the wireless cloning function; the current indicator light turns blue.

3. Set Radio B (transmitter) to Channel 2 and power off.

4. On Radio B (transmitter), simultaneously press and hold side button 1 and the PTT transmit button and power on. The voice prompt "Team Receive" will sound, and the current indicator light turns red.

5. After a few seconds, both Radio A (receiver) and Radio B (transmitter) will automatically announce the current channel "2," indicating that the two radios have successfully teamed up. The two radios can now communicate.
