Hello All, I have a CDM 1550 free with no MIC it should take a RMN4038B. I have a box of HMN1061A's for the older Spectra Radios. Here's the my question can I cut the end off one of my older MIC's and crimp a RJ45 on the end and use the older MIC's? If so does someone have a PIN out so I can do this.
Thanks

Look here:
http://www.batlabs.com/htpro.html
In the middle somewhere it says the mic jack pinout is the
same as a Maxtrac, but it also says something about the
CDM's RJ45 jack having ten pins instead of eight.

Been there done that. What I need is a complete pin out for the rj45 jack on the cdm and a pin out for the jack of the Spectra MIC and maybe with the right combo I can get this to work or spend $25 on a used MIC

You wrote Spectra and I read Maxtrac. Sorry about that.
It's been a long day.

I can fully attest to 8-pin radius-style mics working A-OK in CDM series mobiles.
I have over 50 CDM1550-LS+ on rental, all using HMN1056 mics (well, dispatch is using HMN3000, still an 8-pin design though) and they work like a champ.
Just like with the programming cable, the outer two pins don't seem to matter. I don't even know what they are there for. Must be for some kind of data application.

Re: Use Older MIC on Newer CDM
Can you tell me the order of pins on the rj45 jack left to right with the large secure pin facing down? I have 6 wires to work with and one is not used at all(yellow). I have so far Pin1 is blank, pin2 yellow,pin3 grn, pin4 red, pin5 blk, pin6 blue, pin7 blank, pin8 white. I used this configuration following the Pins on a newer MIC that I know works.escomm wrote:I can fully attest to 8-pin radius-style mics working A-OK in CDM series mobiles.
