Joe,
I assume that you have what looks like a standard Micor mobile that grew a
big extension on the back end to house the duplexer and some other bits.
Some of these units also added an external housing for a secondary receiver
and control electronics on what were termed the Med sub channels
I also had seen this rascal on Ebay and could see by that listing it was in
fact on the GOV split (160 to 172 ) and was MASTR PE portables in a box. Now
being a GE tech from way back, I would not recommend this type of equipment to
the the rookie's as they are very delicate to disassemble.
I've been using Caig's products for about 25 ears.
They work like magic on electronic connectors of all sorts.
I've rescued all sorts of electronics that had been written off as hopeless.
Yes, even new gold contacts have problems. Caig stuff cleans, lubes
maintains.
My favorites are Deoxit
Thanks John for that Info. Will be headed into Town tomorrow get what you
recomend.

Hi everyone.
I have a Motorola Suitcase P44SYS1180BT. Looks like it was modified to -3180
(PL), clean mod. Can anyone confirm that this is based on a pair of MX320-S
radios? I haven't had time to do more than a checkout and visual. No duplexer,
it was originally setup on an impossible split
The commonly available manual has some real nasty scans of schematics, and
those are missing some areas. I have the manual, and editied the original
adding full page scan, etc. Not much storage space here, so if you need a copy

It is four cavities, RCA connectors, one female on the second cavity, and at
each end a teflon cable to a male connector. Assuming the one on teh device

Joe,
If you want to play with your EMS repeater, you'll need two Motorola
manuals: 6881015E70, which covers the basic UHF Micor mobile radio, and
6881029E45, which is the EMS repeater supplement. Both of these manuals are
still available from Motorola Parts, for about $92 and $30, respectively.
George,
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that Motorola Parts still
has the 6881021C95 manual available for purchase. The bad news is that it
costs about $215.
A wealth of information on the MX-300 series of radios is available here:
First of all---Kendecom is an obsolete name. The Kendecom line has been
updated/improved and has been relabeled as ACS which stands for Advanced
Communication Systems which now builds the units. The RF innards are
basically the same as the last of Kendecom though improved in some
ways-ACS
We had a Mark 4 on 2m, for many years. Transmit audio the best we ever heard.
Rec was fine. The Controller was Old school but it did what it said it would.
For a Military repeater converted for the commercial marketplace in the 70s I
think they did an OK job. You can still get service for
Ok Andy. Opened up Wavetek. The 3rd module from the right flashes on startup,
but goes out right away. Pulled the modules. Used an eraser to clean the
contacts then with a cleanerDeoxit on the bottom contacts. after pulling RF

As I undersstand it wavetek put some kinda anti oxidizing goo on the IC
pins. But it had the side effect of disolving the IC pins after quite some
time. So the solusion was to replace the ICs or trying to solder the IC to
the board to make good contact with the pins.

Wesley, no I don't in fact my module is sitting at a shop of a friend
who has three others just like it, all with the same problems-the
biggest issues are below-but also the fact that many of the IC's are no
longer made and there are no substitutes for them-which is why I added
to your post,
Hi Eric .Two radios here are not working properly and I found in one that
the 8meg crystal was 2.4khz off frequency and in the other radio there is no
8 megs at all.so this should explain the radios not working .on a good radio
the ctcss was 131.8 and the crystal was very near to the 8.2944mhz .On

Instead of soldering the damaged IC to the board, I wonder if you could
buy headers that plug into the IC board socket and solder the IC to the
header?

for a total of 10 frequencies. I also have the optional receiver with

You will need to send the Sicoms to ICM and have them install the xtal and

Then all you need is the tuning instructions to re-tune it to the ham band.

The original M suitcase repeaters were MX based. The original standard MX
was crystal controlled. Later MX-S radios were synthesized via a internal
prom/eeprom. Specialized gear to reprogram those, but a few comm shops out
there on the web that can do them. For the crystal UHF MX it works off one
.
Best bet for 220 is a converted GE or Micor, or find a Midland 13-509 to
split apart.

The receiver uses a common theme found in other similar
