Test Equipment, Service Aids, and Tools: Field Programming Equipment 4-3
4.3 Field Programming Equipment
The ASTRO family of radios can be aligned and programmed in the field. This requires specific
equipment and special instructions. Refer to the online help in the Customer Programming Software
(RVN4185).
4.3.1 XTL 5000 Field Programming
The XTL 5000 radios use a flash memory device to store information on frequencies, squelch codes,
signaling codes, time-out timer durations, and other parameters.
The XTL 5000 radios can be programmed in the field any number of times without removing the flash
memory from the radio.
4.3.1.1 Dash-Mounted Radios
To program and tune a dash-mounted XTL 5000 radio, the HKN6155 cable is connected to the radio
via the microphone connector. The opposite end of the cable is connected to an IBM or IBM PC-
compatible computer. Another programming option is to connect a direct adapter cable to the radio’s
rear accessory connector, J2, and connect the other end to the computer. (Please refer to the CPS
Programming Installation Guide
—Motorola part number 6881095C44—for installation and setup
procedures for the software.)
