XTVA & VRS750

[kd5afk]

Hello..

I have a VHF XTL5000 with 05 Head with Siren and VRS750 UHF all hooked together, my question is I also have a XTVA with HHCH for my XTS5000 UHF model 3 is there a way to make the VRS come alive when I remove the portable from the XTVA like the "jerk and run" of the old days....? any thoughts...?


Thanks
Kevin

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "come alive"?

When he pulls his portable from the xtva, he wants the vrs to activate automatically.

Similar to how all the vehicular drop-in chargers operate. They have a +12v trigger wire that is activated when the radio is removed and the VRS switch is in the ON position.

So the XTVA does not have the 12v out trigger?

Yes that is correct I want to be able to pull radio out of XTVA and it auto activate the VRS option does anyone know which wire on XTVA it is and WHERE it hooks into...? Thanks again guys

Look at the detailed service manual for the xtva (it is available here somewhere). There are provisions for VRS activation. I believe it is through the db25 connector.

Looks like pin 16 has your VRS signal, and ground is either 18 or 23. Take that to one of the VIP INs on your O5 head. In CPS under Radio Wide, VRS tab, check VIP Control of VRS. Then under Controls, Radio VIP, set the correct VIP In to VRS Activation.

That should all be correct but I've never done one of these before so maybe someone else will come along and sanity check me.
