kidphc Posted April 19 Author Report Share Posted April 19 Page 21-30 contains a part list Page 52-53 has a diagram that includes the part numbers to aid the search. The radio body or complete system can be found on ebay ranging from $300 (brick) only to $1000-$3000 depending on the head style for a complete system. I chose to buy the bricks and components separately. You can buy an older complete 7300m/5300m/75M for about $120-150. Double check the part numbers from those radios, to verify what parts carry over. THE HEADS and Mounting Refer to page 18 of attached manual from first post for pictures of the styles. CH721 Head- Avg about $60-80 on ebay. Part# CU23218-004 (system head) Part# CU23218-002 (scan head) This part can be a carry over from a 7300, 5300, XG-75M CH721 Head Remote Mounting Bracket I opted for the remote head bracket, which may be changed to the ram style home brew mount copying the Harris mountU Shaped bracket Remote Head U bracket Part# KT008608 Avg Price new on ebay $10 + shipping CH721 Head Remote Pedestal Mount Part# MACDOS0012 Would love to find one but haven't, probably will have to DIY something similar CH721 Catalog numbers Ch721 scan head remote # XMCP9E console mount # XMCP9G CH721 system head remote # XMCP9F console mount # XMCP9H Ch100 remote mount # XMCP9H console mount # XMCP9Q CH100 Touch screen, bluetooth head Part# 120991200-01 Avg $1000-$2000 (new) Highly sought after but crazy priced. allows for bluetooth programming allows for system/configuration changes that are unavailable on any of the other heads., CH100 Head Remote Mounting Bracket Part# 12099-1500-01 Avg $60 new on ebay CH100 Head Remote Pedestal Mount Part# 12099-1501-01 not sure if you need the above as well as the CH721 Pedestal mount. Refer to Fig 8-9 on page 59 to understand what I am saying. Remote Brick Bracket Part# KT23117 I chose to use part# fm103111v1 We will see if it works fine. Probably won't have the screws, but it is the part number that is included with the kit I couldn't find the kit AVG $18.99 for a beat up one Console Install bracket Part# KT101533V1 Avg $15-40 You can do multiple head setups. A pair of CH721s, a pair of CH100s. You can not mix and match a CH100, with a CH721 head on the same system. This is much like trying to use and 03 head with a 05 head on an XTL series Motorola radio. XG-100M00-1470305.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidphc Posted April 19 Author Report Share Posted April 19 Wiring and Accessories Canbus Terminator Unlike the Motorola Canbus like on the XTL series and newer. The Harris radio wasn't self terminating. Think old fire ring/token ring networks where you had to terminate connections or the ring would fail. So we need a couple of terminators. Original Part# CD-014027-0001 These were supplied with the radio when new. Most are long gone, or in a box somewhere in a radio shop. Substitute Part# MACDOS0010 These were originally XG-75m, 7300m, and 5300m series radios About $11 a piece Generally, most radio setups will need 1-2, but if you add multiple heads then you may need several extras Microphones DTMF MC-103334-040 MC-103334-041 Included with MAMW-NMC9C Standard MC-101616-040 MC-101616-041 Included with MAMW0NMC72 Noise cancelling MC 103334-050 MC 103334-051 Included with MAMW-NMCSD Avg $20-100 depending on stock and condition Speaker and cable Speaker Cable Part # 1000005812-0001-REVB I plan on using my speaker from the XTL. The speaker cable is basically that 4 prong box connector that Motorola uses. Originally part of the installation kit. Avg $18-23 Again carry over from XG-75m, 7300m, and 5300m series radios. SEE A TREND YET? Speaker If you have to have your speaker have Harris on it. Part# LS102824V10 Avg $20 new Again carry over from XG-75m, 7300m, and 5300m series radios. SEE A TREND YET? Canbus Cable Part# ca-009562-030 Supplied with original installation kit I am using a new/old stock Macom cable. Again carry over from XG-75m, 7300m, and 5300m series radios. SEE A TREND YET? Abg $25 ebay $98 new Power Cable Part# CA-012616-001 Unable to Find Used cut Pigtails About $15 THIS Ebay seller- they will make custom cables with ignition sense https://www.ebay.com/itm/385499758239?hash=item59c1937e9f:g:gfYAAOSw22Jj~3Wg&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwI9bS6n%2BKCoIgtM0yfEty4%2F7s34lwkfTrxn7j2xMwrwTVzXos7yJkiZ73gVXNkFLLoY0x6Jfl9AVqdZ44BFx9KSmA%2BtZsPmvIV2lJ%2BOt50xEk00xYx0ADHSRPTunwh1V6QvejTSdKKub3GG2go2xjEmRNxkLATRXnp3iNMPWlzAzWDd7pkEhV%2BR0j1U1SZZmX%2BI3oxj%2Fza%2FS3yFRCW8%2FsntVeSTKwWVa6Ph9oc8Qxqh2nFL1w6FDn1%2Fbkx6kAif%2BgA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8KWp6DzYQ About $35 Programming cable It is a Rs232 9pin Straight serial cable. I opted for an FTDI usb to rs232 NO rib box necessary Rs232 female on the head and back of the radio. Avg $20-40 Antenna connectors VHF HIgh, UHF and 7/800 TNC female on the radio brick. So you will need a Male TNC to your chosen antenna connector. VHF Low BNC female on the radio brick Again adapter if necessary. GPS port... I am not utilizing the GPS From my understanding the radio will provide NMEA formatted data. this will be on several pins on the 44 pin serial port.
