H1817 Conv. Kit: Convrt Mid Pwr XTL5K Remote to Dash Mnt
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 4:44 pm
I have an XTL5000 remote mount, mid-power radio with an 05 control head. I would like to convert it to an 05 dash mount.
I understand that I will need an H1817 conversion kit, which is $75.00. The problem is that H1817 is a Motorola sales number (as opposed to a Motorola Parts nbr), which means a full blown FO needs to be opened up, let alone up to 6 to 8 weeks ARO to get the darn thing.
Does anyone know what is actually included in the H1817 kit, so I can order the individual “piece parts" from Motorola Parts?
I have the 05 control head with its mid-power flex cable (HKN6191A Flex, CH to remote assbly – CHIB), and the face plate from the remote mount radio, with its flex cable (HKN6190B, 50 pin flex assbly). Do I wind up throwing both of these cables away, and then need to use yet a different (3rd) flex cable? I can’t imagine what’s in the H1817 kit! Silly me, as I thought I could just connect the control head to the radio!
Thanks for any help on this!
