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.
The base/control station option provides the radio with a desk microphone and power supply for use
at a fixed location. All operations are the same as the mobile, except for the desk microphone.
Choose a location for your base/control station as close as possible to where the antenna cable
enters the building. Be sure an electric outlet is available. Make sure sufficient air can flow around
the radio to permit adequate cooling.
The antenna should be installed outside of the building, but never within two feet (for radios with less
than 50 watts power output) or within three feet (for radios with 50 watts or higher power output) of
station operators or bystanders.
For more information, refer to the Spectra Control Station Installation Manual (Motorola publication
part number 6880101W87).
