Hi,
I am looking to wire a Motorola L1473A to my Motorola UHF spectra A5. Could anyone help me with a diagram and any other accesories I would need (part numbers) to hook this up?

Thanks

Jake

Sorry If I was not clear UHF radio > Head with bad screen and backlights VHF radio > Head in 100% working condition. If I take the head of the UHF and put the head from the VHF radio in its place the head works. If I put the head from the UHF radio on the VHF radio it still does not work. Jake

Hi, yes I tried that, and I took the head off my VHF and swapped them the head from the UHF still does not work after pressing DIM many times the XMIT light comes on if I trnasmit but the backligthts wont come on either

Sorry i should say its JUST the screnn and Lights buttons still work. I can still hear the radio beep when I press a button or transmit.

Hi, I jsut had my A5 Spectra radio head die. I will first say I just installed a 450-470 3.8dB/5dB Dipole antenna with a 50 foot LMR-400 cable, for this radio.

Hi, thanks

I would also have to keep up with deleting my old files.

BUT I think i will use it for a scanner at home --- THANKS

thanks

Jake

Thanks for everyones Help!

I could not find mounts that would fit the aplication So I took some long sticks of metal and drilled holes in it, and used the mounting holes on the side --- And I stacked them together. Looks much better than it sounds... Racks will come in the future

Thanks!

Hi, I have two M spectra A5 radios and I need a way to record the voice activity and play it back... This is so If I hear something and I need to check the address I can play it back so the record time does not need to be extensive

WOW thats great a guy on ebay wants about 50 bucks plus shipping


I dont really plan on doing alot of biz with MOTO i just want to get one radio working


But thanks I also plan on calling the man at moto that sold me the software to find out if I should have gotten a manual.

Thanks


Jake

What would the manual cost from a reputable but someone thats not to expensive? Im new to this so I dont know of companys that sell it. I got the number for moto off the Batlabs site. So i really dont know where to go for moto stuff the Spectra came from Ebay.

Hi, thanks Yes i bought an old 486 laptop on Ebay. I had read that form for newbies earlier. I guess what im really looking for is tips not to blow out my radio or tips on how to use the software. I have not connected the stuff yet. Im waiting to hear back from people on their ideas before I proceed...

THANKS for all your help and ideas. Was not as hard as I thought.
