W3 astro spectra siren compatibility question

Post by jedi_saber »

Have a W3 highpower radio that I want to hook a Motorola siren up to AND would like to control it via the W3. Can I do it with what I have? I used to have a set up several years back that allowed me to do it, but I don't remember all the parts that went with it or how exactly it was configured. I hope you may be able to help. Thanks!

Do you want to control all of the siren functions from the W3 head? Or are you planning on running a Siren DEK with the special siren cable with DEK connectivity?

You should be able to do limited siren functions with what you have. You won't have enough buttons to do it all though.
