Motorola RMN5050A Desktop Microphone
Motorola RMN5050A Desktop Microphone
We have changed dip switches in the mic to get hot mic with no paddle pressing, and making both paddles ptt. Then there are some chip resistors in the audio path that need there value changed, but I don't have the info handy, I will dig it up later if I make it back to my shop.
Convenient microphone option for when you are operating the mobile on a desktop. Transmissions are easier for control station users as the microphone does not need to be picked up. Large push-to-talk buttons are easy to access.
As some additional information on this microphone, you will notice that there is a multi position switch located inside the mic to allow the mic to be configured for different radios.
(Monitor before transmit, separate grounds for PTT and mic low, etc.)
You will find this info in no manual. If you call the System Support Center they will read you the functions of the various switch positions but they can not fax or email any documentation. I have included the switch functions in this email so you don't have to go through the same problem.

The driver is included with the CPS when you install it. The link is supposed to point to the local disk-drive but that sometimes doesn't work. The link isn't supposed to be a download link though, if that's what you we're expecting?
MOTOTRBO "NEWBIE" QUESTIONS ABOUT PROGRAMMING AND CPS
Where can I get (the latest) CPS?
From where you bought your radio. Or if you prefer here.
The version of CPS I have gives error code #1057 when I read my new radio?
The firmware version in the radio is newer than that which the CPS can support. You need to update your version of CPS.
When I plug the programming cable into the PC, Windows does not make the "USB Start" sound?
This is correct, there is no "intelligence" or level conversion in the programming cable. This will only happen when you connect a radio.
