Alvine - no I don't see the 540 posted by you or anyone else in this thread and thanks for posting
many of these fine pics and memories. Back in my CB days I did not even know motorola made these.
Good luck with your future collecting and thanks again.....fineshot1

That's a nice looking unit, thanks for sharing!

Too bad you can't see these, fineshot...

I did not know about the CM line, but aren't the Mocats later than these CMs? I know I had mine circa '77, '78.

Those were very good rdios. The "Extender" noise blanker is the same used in the commercial two-way Motorola low band radios. It really takes the pulse noise out and lets you hear weaks signals. Two 2020's at 4 watts can go the distance.

Hey SK (Phil),
I was wondering what the mod was to change the 2020 to 40 channel. By chance you still have that mod available?

This is the plug you will need-
2-Position Female Interlocking Connector - RadioShack.com

Not that big a problem to crimp the wires. Be sure to use the female metal inserts. Positive on the top (nearest the "V" notch).

I don't know where any ready made power cords might be.

Wow! I would kill to have that CM-540!!! I got my first CB (Midland 13-882C) in 1976 & I always liked the Moto rigs but I have never seen a CM-540. Very nice radio!

The Mocats were made in the US but the CM series were made overseas by another company for Motorola.

I've got a few Mocats and a 555 AM/SSB base and used to sell them in the 70s and early 80s.
