cm140 help needed URGENT

[davetaylor777]

HI ALL

need little help

Friend of mine popped over Few Motorola cm140 for me to add a freq to.

I thought it used the same cable as the GM300 so asked him to supply the software and I do the rest.

he bought the software and now I feel Like a FOOL as I cant programe them as its a different cable to be used....

Can any one give me the pinout for the mic socket or the pins used for programming so I may makeup a mic to rib cable

need all your help to pull me out this

cheers

Dave.

Dave-
As far as I know, the cm140 has not been sold in the States.
I'm going to make a couple of assumptions which may or may not be correct:
1. You're in the UK or Australia.
2. The cm140 *may* be the UK/Australian version of the CM200, i.e. limited channel capability, single digit LED display, 8 pin mic socket, etc.

If the above assumptions are true, the programming cable for the CM140 is likely identical to the one for the CM200/300 that's sold here in the States. Additionally, if you do a search here using CM200 or CM300 as keywords, I believe you'll find what you're looking for. If you don't find what you need, repost and I'll look up my schematic for my Mot CM200/300 cable.

The CM200 & 300 cable is wired as follows from M:
The RJ45 is 10 way with the pin numbering as follows looking at the conductor side of the connector from the topside with the cable exit toward you: 10(on the far righthand side),1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 on the far left. Pin 1 & 3 have a 1kohm resistor across them. RIB gnd(pin 1 on RIB) to pin 4 on RJ45. Pin 4 on RIB end linked to pin 13 on RIB end. Pin 12 on RIB end tied to pin 1 on RJ45 end. Pin 15 on RIB end tied to pin 7 on RJ45 end. And finally(you don't need this for only programming) pin 25 on RIB end tied to pin 6 on RJ45 end - this is the boot control line. The RIB end is a 25 way DB style connector.
That's the way it is for the CM series sold here in the States, Dave. I would expect the CM140 to be the same.
