Everyone know that the ASTRO W5 control head can direct to connect the XTL-5000(110W Radio) (Bypass that Remote Interconnect Board) ?

Because I know that Mid-Power XTL-5000 Radio not use the Remote Interconnect Board can direct to connect the radio and the control head.

I use the same pin-out connect the W5 head to the 110W radio, the radio can not power on ....Why ????????????????

If connect the W3 Head to the radio(Bypass the Remote Interconnect Board). The W3 head's display can only show XTL-5000, all the Icon and 3 blank function boxes, all the key no function... It is case show both mid-power radio and 110W radio ... why...why... ??????????

All high powered motorola radios have used the interconnect board. Haven't seen a way around it.

What exactly are you trying to do?

In addition, the XTL5000's are loaded with (according to the price/order sheet at least) with specific control head software, and appears not to be easliy modified like the 1st generation astro mobiles.

You need the correct interconnnect for either the /W3 the or the W4/5/7/or 9 heads.

If the radio is a W1 model, you can use any head on it, as that model will support any of the heads listed.

Don't forget the high power programming cable to complete the package.

I have used the W5 remote-mount Head, at mid-power radio connected following pins : GND , PTT , Mic Hi , Spk+ , Spk- , SwB+ , emerg , A+(X2),
ING , Bus+ , Bus- , LH_Busy , LH_Rest . At Rear Accessory Connector connected IGNITION . The radio can work..

At the high power radio connected following pins :GND , PTT , Mic Hi , Spk+ , Spk- , SwB+ , emerg , A+(X2), Bus+ , Bus- , LH_Busy , LH_Rest .
Because high power radio no rear accessory connector, so no connected the ING(IGNITION)..The radio can not power on....

I have used the W3 Head at both radio, connected following pins : Bus+ , Bus- , Busy, A+(5V) , GND , SwB+ , PTT , Mic Hi. Radio can power on ,but W3 head can display and no function...

All that test , I haven't the interconnect board...
