just to reiterate, the reason why i initially posted was to- get help GOING THROUGH all the information i was OVERWHELMED- by on the http://www.onfreq.com/syntorx/ http://batlabs.com/x9000.html http://www.repeater-builder.com/motorola/syntor/syntor-index.html sites. i get easily overwhelmed due to my slight learning- disability which resembles dyslexia, but is more language- based than reading based. i was attempting to gain help, primarily, in understanding- how to set up the wiring aspect. which wires connect to- where on the car, and go to what accessories on the radio. for people curious what exact model number etc it was the following auction: http://item.ebay.com/300408072706 > > MOTOROLA SYNTOR X9000 WE ARE SELLING THIS LOT FOR SYNTOR PLUS PA SYSTEM(SIREN) FM TWO WAY RADIO MODEL T99KE + 037W ID# T73KEJ7J04AK PA SYSTEM 9000 THIS RADIO AND PA SYSTEM HAS BEEN TESTED IN GOOD WORKING ORDER WITH NORMAL WEAR AND NEED TO BE PROGRAMED THE RADIO. THERE ARE 32 CHANNELS 150-174MHZ, 100W-50W, VHF, HIGH BAND COMES AS SHOWN: RADIO WITH MOUNTING TRAY, SPECTRA (FOR SYNTOR SIREN OR FOR RX ONLY), PA BOX (FOR SIREN), CONTROL HEAD WITH BRACKET, DUAL MIC, SPEAKER (SHORT WIRE)WITH BRACKET, POWER CONTROL CABLE, T-CABLE, PA CABLE. my primary question was answered by the following post: Lets start with the KISS method here.... you know.. Keep It Simple Stupid... You should have 4 wires to worry about A big red one a big black one a little orange one a little green one... orange and green come off the control head end... tie both together and supply fused 12V to them... the big black one... Ground it the big red one... Fuse it and attach to battery.... Under the right side of the control head, bottom right if looking at the face, slide the switch... unit should power on.... All you have to do to be able to program it is mod the plug going into the radio by attaching 8 wires http://www.onfreq.com/syntorx/syntorx9k/progx9.html* and attaching it to a* RIB (about $35 on ebay) then to your computer (a slower one preferably) and have the right RSS for it..... Email me direct if you want and I will see what I can do to help ya.... Gary K4GHL wolfy AT thewolfsden DOT net this was from the radio-programm...@yahoogroups.com group! he has by far been the most helpful and straightforward in answering my questions thanks so much again for everyone's help in resolving this issue!
