My fire department has a rack of maxtracs hooked to the CEB of our motorola centracom base radio using CPI mr100's. The 800 meg trunk radio has been removed and now is replaced by a astro spectra.

Do we need a new cpi interface box for this?
Would you know the model necessary?
Are there premade cables from the spectra to the CPI?

All are kinda new to me so any info would be great.

Can you give us more details about the spectra? Is it a consolete or a dash mount radio?

I'm assuming this is on the K system in your area, and uses digital...

It is a dash mount on a power supply, no consollette. I'm not sure it the new system is running astro. XTS2500 are the portables used. Looks like an older spectra, it has dial knobs for volume and channel.
