MTVA power cord and mike question

[wa1emt]

I am looking for the MTVA power cord and product number on the mike that I need for my mtva.
Couple of questions:
1. Can I use this without an amplifier box and run the rf output from the MTVA to the antenna.?
2. Any idea on the pinouts and/or the plug used for the power cord.?
3. Do I need a external speaker for this or will the output be thru the MT2000 radio.?
4. Does the MTVA need constant power or can I use a switch for when I dont want it to charge the radio?
I checked ebay...no luck on just the power cord.
They got mikes, just need to know the one I need. Nothing fancy thats for sure.
Any issues with the MTVA over-charging the battery and if so, is there anything that can be done about it.
Thanks all....

Do you have both the holder and control units and interconnecting cables? Model numbers please?

No..Just the holder...Thoughts thats all I needed.
Were on a 800 mhz smartnet system here

You are under the wrong impression. The holder unit gets its power fed from the control unit.
At the very least you need the NTN1322B = Non band specific Controller Unit(No RFPA) and
interface cable NKN6453A (8ft) or NKN6454A (16ft), and optional amplified speaker HSN1000B or HSN1006B. Microphone is a HMN1035C or HMN1056D. The control unit takes a normal motorola
radio power cable.

You could also opt (if you can find one) for a NTN1325B = Model: N1671B Option:Q150AA Controller/RFPA 800Mhz. This is a control unit with a PA for 800Mhz HT's.

Keep scanning ebay and some of the ham radio(qth.com, qrz.com, eham.net, batlabs)for this stuff - these MTVA parts have been getting cheaper by the month as they are are plentiful and due to the state of the economy the prices have been dropping since no one wants to spend $. Good luck

MTVA Cable Question

I have several MTVA 800 Mhz convertacom units for MTS2000, however I only have ONE NKN6453A cable.. These cables are hard to find at an affordable price..
It appears the cable is simply a standard 25 pin Parallel cable with DB25 connectors, PLUS the addition of one wire run externally for switched Battery sense

Has anyone tried to use a standard cable instead of the Motorola part ??

Any problems doing so ???

Thanks
Jerry
