CM200 PA System Setup

[jonnychaos]

Hi all. I would like to setup a CM200 to work as a PA system. What programming will need to be done in CPS? I want to accomplish this to work in tandem with the regular 2way functions. Can a programmable button be configured to toggle between PA and regular 2way? I know that I will need to install the accessory cable with the correct external speaker connected to the correct pins (1 and 16), but the cable shows a third wire that will need to be connected as well. Which pin does that get connected to? The wires being red, black, and light blue. Any help would be appreciated. Yes, I am a novice to the 2way world. TIA.

The CM200 can do PA however there is no button press to do this. It is done all externally from the radio. There is a PA switch box and two cables, one from the radio to the switch box and another from the box to the speaker.

The switchbox when enabled will connect to an external speaker and also trip an input on the 16 pin plug that has been programmed for PA. That is the third wire you see on your cable.

You can use a standard speaker or better yet an amplified speaker (HSN1000A).
