Motorola MaraTrac Mobile

[kc2tgd]

I got a hold of a Motorola MaraTrac Mobile Radio. I got the main "drawer", an A7 control head (HCN1052C), a Siren Box (HLN1318A), and a DEK (which I believe to be an HLN1300). The radio is for lowband 42-50MHz and I will be converting it over to 6 Meters. Only problem is that it did not come with any of the connecting cables. Wondering if anyone has part numbers for the cable to go from the drawer to the head, the siren box to the DEK, and the DEK to the VIP port. Even schematics would be a great help of you have them.

Hi,
The main Batlabs site has most of the info that you're looking for.
Here's a link to the Maratrac page: http://batlabs.com/maratrac.html

Another source of information on these radios (and their conversion) is Repeater Builder.
Here's a link to their Maratrac page: http://www.repeater-builder.com/motorol ... atrac.html

I just completed the conversion of three of the same radio that you have using the Repeater Builder conversion, and everything went well.

Good luck with your conversion. They're a great radio on 6.

I read those pages and have converted some MaxTrac's to 6 Meters, but I have no cables to connect anything together, so I cant program it or see if it even turns on .

The part numbers for the cables is what I really need, or if anyone can email me the service manual for the Siren/Pa, i have one for the MaraTrac.

Thanks and 73 de KC2TGD

Suggest you contact Elroy to see if he has anything that you would need:

I called Motorola and got the following information:

The cable to connect the A7 Head to the Drawer is an HKN4321B

The siren to DEK cable is an HKN4338A

The A7 to the DEK is HKN4337A

A speaker for the siren is a TDN6251A

Thanks for the help and 73,
