Okay, I haven't recived my Maxtrac yet, but I have the RSS for it. When I go in the .MDF file with Hex editor, I cannot fine my model number. Does this mean that this version of the RSS won't work with my model, or will it add my model to the .MDF file when I go and read the codeplug when I hook up the radio? I want to get 64 channels in this radio, but I'm not sure if it has that much memory. Also, what gauge wire would you recommend I run for the power cable if I'm going to be running 45 watts? Thanks.

The model number will be the same except for some of the sufixes, look for a simmular one.
32 chans is about the limit for most radio's memory capacity.
Fourteen gage wire no longer than seven feet, and use a 15 amp fuse. Run th hot lead directly to the battery terminal for least loss and noise pick up getting into the radio (alternator whine!). The ground should be as short as practical and directly to the floor metal under the carpet near the radio mounting position. Just to the passengers side (right) of the transmission hump in most cars and trucks works well.

Of course, you could always purchase the <$14 power cord from Motorola as I did for my GM300!On 2001-10-06 17:19, Will wrote:
