Harris m7300 [deck and head connection]

[LowderK]

OK here is my question i have a m7300 7/800 radio with system head between the Deck and head i have a CAN cable……. i have a M7300 VHF deck and system head but can’t find a can cable …. is it possible or do they make a cable like the old m7100/orion cable you can use instead of a can cable.? from the DB connection to DB connection…?

See this post for part numbers: m7300 power cables

You can make one using shielded cable such as this, which worked great for me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079G7XNZV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You need 2 16282-3PG-315 connectors - 1 for either end of the CAN cable: 16282-3PG-315 CONXALL | ElectroShield

There's the CAN cable. I don't think there are provisions for the M7300 to operate with an M7100 type control head, if you were thinking of trying that. There is a DB25 on a CH721 head so maybe a DB-to-DB connection is possible but for the effort involved, even at 90 dollars it'd be cheaper in time and labor expended to get the CAN cable.

The CAN cable is the same for all the M7300 to 721 head.
Same cable with the XG-75M/Xg100M also.
No, an M7100 CH will not work with these radios.
The DB 25 connector on the CH-721 is exclusively for the external accessory cable.

I suspected that was the case, thanks for confirming it.

OK here is a CH-721 control head question….. is the button caps still available for the system head to change what the keypad buttons say so they match what they are assigned like yelp, or siren or ext speaker etc….? if so does anyone have a list of what’s available?

New London doesn’t like that it part #… that’s always a bummer. I love it when I put in the part and it says “42 available”. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes not. Good luck!

Great! Too bad that doesn’t magically make NLT have it in stock and ready to ship!
