Command Star Plus

[scottp1111]

Hello,

I was wondering about a particular piece of equipment. The Motorola command star plus unit that is for sale on eBay right now for 925. This is what I want to accomplish.

I have 2 gm300 1 XTL 1500 1 cdm1250. They are all in my office with mics and power supplies kinda tacky. I would like to get this one console and run all the radios into my office closet and run the wires to the console. How do I make this console talk to my radios? I can do without the xtl1500 on the dispatch console but the gm300 s and the CDM 1250 is a must. Please tell me what additional equipment is required if any. Can a 25 pin plug be built and plugged into the console with direct wires to the back of the radios to activate the tx and Rx. Anyone with experience tell me how to build this system..

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,
Each radio you would want to control with the console would need a tone remote adapter installed to it. Then a phone line, 2 or 4 wire depending on your needs, would need to be installed from each of the radio/tone remote adapters in the closet to the console on your desk. It's a pretty cool idea...I'm actually working on the same project and have considered the same console. I noticed it doesn't show a power supply, which may be costly to replace, and I'm not sure how many lines it really has.

A local control console would allow you to connect directly to the console, but these can be limited in features...not sure if you need channel steering or MDC1200. Good luck!
