Introduction
The Wulfsberg C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control head
device that controls one or two Wulfsberg transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of Wulfsberg
FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct the
user on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-5000 apart from
any other communication device.
Features
The C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including
• Controls Wulfsberg RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT-7200 transceivers.
• 350 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Wulfsberg’s Remote Programmer software.
• Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.
• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.
• Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as P25 Digital Modulation and
encryption with Over the Air Rekey (OTAR) capability.
Transceiver Overview
The C-5000 provides support for the Wulfsberg FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers.
It is very important that users know how many radios and what type are connected to the C-5000 since transceivers
have very different capabilities and features. Here is a summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities.
FLEXCOMM II
This product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceivers covering the 29.7 to 960 MHz frequency range. The
optional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard (available in three frequency ranges), a
29.7 – 960 MHz receiver capable of being programmed with two Guard channels, or a receiver with one or two
modules capable of RT-5000’s are equipped with CTCSS and DCS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.
The MTM Guard variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-
air-rekey (OTAR) capability.
FLEXCOM I
This product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000 also supports
the RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but remain in wide use. The RT-
30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99 MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to
511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-
controlled, Guard Receiver that operates on a customer-specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSS
decoder with programmable Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.
