Introduction: Motorcycle Configurations 1-3
Figure 1-7. Remote Mount Configuration (100W Only)
For details on these configurations, see
Section 2.2.2 on page 2-10.
1.2.3 Dual Control Configuration
The dual control head option allows two, separate, remotely operated control heads to operate and
control the radio. For example, a fire truck could have a control head located in the cab and on the
rear of the truck so that the radio could be operated from outside the vehicle.
For details on this configuration, see the ASTRO Digital Spectra Mobile Radios Dual Control Head
Radio System Service Manual (Motorola publication part number 6881091C78).
1.3 Motorcycle Configurations
NOTE: The motorcycle configurations are not applicable for 100W radios.
The ASTRO XTL 5000 motorcycle radio models provide most of the equipment needed for installing
a standard ASTRO XTL 5000 radio on a motorcycle. Most of this radio system is standard
equipment. See Chapter 4: Motorcycle Radio Installation for further information.
1.4 Base/Control Stations
NOTE: The base/control station option is not applicable for 100W radios.
If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station
or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in
order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the
standards and guidelines listed in the 68P81095C99 manual:
•The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible.
•As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee
to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may
require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements,
signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded
.
