OPERATOR’S MANUAL
MIDLAND MODEL 71-506-10D
FULL-DUPLEX MOBILE
Preliminary
August, 2006
SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only
where the radio operator must have the knowledge to control the exposure
conditions of its passengers and bystanders by maintaining the minimum
separation distance of 0.3 m(1 foot).
Failure to observe these restrictions will results in exceeding the FCC RF
exposure limits.
ANTENNA INSTALLATION:
The antenna must be located at least 0.3m (1 foot) away from bystanders
in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements.

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the MIDLAND MODEL 71-506-10D Full-Duplex Mobile Radio. This manual
contains information to assist you in the application and operation of the radio.
The 71-506-10D is a building block intended for use in systems requiring a compact radio for full duplex,
repeater, link, etc. The radio is capable of both analogue and digital modulation.
The 71-506-10D is designed to operate with an external, custom designed, control system, which may be
supplied by MIDLAND or by the customer. MIDLAND will provide engineering assistance and technical
information to assist in the design of the control system by the customer.
Use of the many features available in the radio will depend on the complexity of the control system.

Product Description
The Midland model 71-506-10D transceivers represent a great advance on the previous rugged & time
proven KG106 transceiver. They consist of separate modules all housed within one rugged, compact
mobile cabinet. The receiver, the transmitter, and the PA Unit are each enclosed within their own diecast
housings that are directly mounted to the main chassis. A full-featured logic module controls all
parameters of the radio under the control of a microprocessor. The RF Power Output is 1 - 10 Watts on a
continuous duty basis. The CTCSS module supports all EIA tones, which may be set on a per channel
basis during radio programming.
The 71-506-10D is supplied with TX and RX antenna ports to allow connection to an external duplexer or
feeder cables. Space is provided inside the housing for an antenna relay or mobile type 6-cavity duplexer.

Indicator Functions
POWER On Indicator LED
The Power ON Indicator LED will illuminate in Green color whenever the Power ON/OFF switch is
switched to the "ON" position.
BUSY Mode Indicator LED
The Busy Mode Indicator LED will illuminate in Green color whenever the 71-506-10D receives a
carrier signal on the selected channel that is greater then the Squelch setting.
TRANSMIT Mode Indicator LED
The Transmit Mode Indicator LED will illuminate in Red color whenever the 71-506-10D is
transmitting.
ALARM Mode Indicator LED
The Alarm Mode Indicator LED will illuminate (Flashing) in Amber color whenever the transceiver
detects a fault in the receiver module, the transmitter module, or the PA module on the selected
channel.
REPEATER Mode Indicator LED
The Repeater Mode Indicator LED will illuminate in Yellow color when the selected channel has
been programmed for Repeater operation. This LED will NOT illuminate on any channel that is
programmed to operate in Base Station mode.

OPERATION
3.1
Installation and Programming
71-506-10D can be installed to operate Fixed Station in any mode of operation. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures. RF exposure is
addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including
antenna co-location requirements of §1.1307(b)(3).
The radio may also be used for mobile and transportable applications.
The 71-506-10D must be programmed before it will operate correctly. This is best done by the
equipment supplier or a competent radio engineer. They will require the correct programming kit
and a computer. Complete programming instructions are provided with the kit. If a duplexer is
used, please observe the maximum frequency range permitted by the duplexer notches.
It is important that the 71-506-10D be correctly installed at its working location. It is recommended
that this be done by a competent radio engineer.
As a minimum, it is necessary to:
•
•
•
•
Securely attach the mounting plate to the desired location.
Connect the DC Input power lead to a suitable 13.8 Volt Regulated DC Power supply that
has sufficient capacity. (Ensure that the DC Polarity is correct, otherwise the fuse will
blow).
Connect the antenna feed line(s). (Check that the VSWR of the antenna is acceptable).
Connect the Control System to the 25 position sub D connector.

Basic Operation
Note that controls and functions will vary with different control systems and with programming.
3.2.1
Switch On
Switch the 71-506-10D "ON" , the POWER indicator should illuminate.
3.2.2
Adjust the Volume Setting
Rotate the Volume Knob clockwise until the audio level from the speaker is suitable.
3.2.3
Adjust the Squelch Setting
Rotate the Squelch Knob clockwise (from the fully counter clockwise position) slowly until
the background noise can no longer be heard. It is wise to slightly rotate the knob further
in the clockwise direction so that variations in the background noise level do not "break"
the squelch setting and cause annoying noises to be heard from the speaker.
3.2.4
Select the Channel
Select the desired channel.
3.2.5
Receiving
You should now be able to hear any radio traffic that occurs on channel. It may be
necessary to further slightly adjust the Volume setting to suit your listening requirements.
3.2.6
Transmitting
Depending on the legal requirements in your country and the operating requirements
within your organization, it may be necessary to announce your Call Sign, and will
probably be necessary to announce the Call Sign of the party you are calling at the start
of your transmission.
Press the PTT switch before beginning to speak. When transmitting, it is necessary to
hold the microphone about 75mm (3") from your mouth and speak clearly into the grill of
the microphone.
