Connect Two Microphones To Xtl5000

Motorola Technologies makes the Astro XLT5000 mobile digital radio. This is a device used by truckers, law enforcement, fire, ambulance and search and rescue crews. The radio is available for civilian use and broadcasts and a range of frequencies. The recent versions of the XLT5000 have two 3.5-pin microphone jacks, allowing two microphones to connect and broadcast via the radio. Older models have a single 3.5-pin connection point. To use two mics with older models you need a microphone adapter.


Instructions

1. Plug the 3.5-pin microphones into the XLT5000 microphone jacks found on the lower-left side of the radio.


2. Turn the radio on and double click each microphone, listening for a crackle on the radio speaker each time you click.


3. Click each microphone seperately to ensure both are connected and working properly.

5. Plug each microphone's 3.5-pin jack into the two adapter ports on the David Clark C3019 Mobile Adapter.


6. Test each microphone. Turn on the radio, and click each microphone separately listening for the crackle noise on the speaker of the XLT5000.
