Motorola CDM1250 Radio Help

[McMiller32]

Hello All

Thanks in advance,

I'm good with most technology but radios elude me,

I have been currently running our scanner feed on a bearcat xlt60 scanner running through the headphones jack and it works but is terrible quality, I have a Motorola CDM1250 radio and would like to use this as a feed radio. It currently has a PC plug that is soldered to send the audio signal out when sound is being played (see below). When I plug this radio into our broadcasting computer the server reads offline as it doesn't see the audio signal unless there is chatter. Can anyone recommend the correct plug to buy for this radio so we can use it for broadcasting? The rear of the Motorola has a port labelled PC with two rows of ten pins on each row.

(Seeing below) - our old setup basically was a setup to send signal through rca to a computer in our dispatch room, the computer had a program on it that as soon as an audio signal was detected it would record the audio and save it as a file. This would give us a audio file for each transmission on our FD channel so we had a record of transmissions.

More Help Please

So I ordered the above parts and got it in and have installed it, the radio has a ton of noise, yes it works ok, but the squelch or channel noise is insane.

I have gone through every setting in the computers options, I have tried line in and mic jacks. I've fiddled with a program called Audio Test. what gives?

Is it something i have to change in the radio itself? The radio is clear and clean. The new plug i just bought is supposed to be the correct one and its very noisy

Please Help?

Any Suggestions?

Thanks in Advance

Sounds like your pulling discriminator audio instead of filtered audio. With the GM300 it was a physical jumper but I think it's a software setting in CPS with the CDM. Should be a setting for flat or filtered in the CPS.

Oh the pin setting.. You need CPS to change the setting for the PIN. Needs to be set to: Filtered Audio. IIRC that is also squelched.

Still need assistance

I have had a radio tech in and he adjusted the pin pin setting to filtered audio, the channel still has noise but when the mic is keyed its clear, I am unsure on how to fix, all the other channels I listen to are not noisy and are clear when talking is being broadcast, I have not been at the radio in question when the tech is here, he wasn't too sure on what needs to be changed either. I know squelch is a setting in the CPS software but he said he tried adjusting it and it made no change. Any Suggestions?
