SECTION 4 - ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. General
The following section describes the wiring requirements and options for the installation of the
system. Because the system has so many features and options, it is recommended that the
installer take the time to read pin descriptions and all notes on wiring diagrams before designing
an installation.
Figure 4-1 Rear View of C-5000
2. Wiring Considerations
To simplify the systems design, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Determine the type and number of radios. The C-5000 can control one or two
transceiver systems. The word system is used because a Flexcomm I installation can be
made of multiple transceivers electrically daisy chained to make one system. Based on the
type of radio, chose the part number of C-5000 that applies to your application.
Step 2: Determine the type of antenna. For each transceiver, determine the appropriate
antenna. For Flexcomm I transceivers, see the proper installation manuals for options. For
the RT-5000, the process begins by determining if the user needs optimum 30-88MHz
performance. If so, the recommended antenna system will be an “active” antenna (i.e. one
that is electrically tuned for maximum performance). If the user rarely uses 30-88 MHz, then
passive antenna is suggested. Passive antennas are less expensive and less complex to
install. Remember that performance in the 30-88 MHz frequency range is very degraded vs.
an active antenna.
Step 3: Microphone/Headset. If only one radio is installed, use the primary mic/headset
port. If two radios are installed, use primary mic/headset for transceiver system #1 and
secondary mic/headset for transceiver system #2. If only one mic/headset port is available
on the audio panel, use the primary mic/headset port and configure the C-5000 to operate in
“single mic mode”.

Step 4: Panel Lighting. Select the input pin on P500 for the desired backlighting.
Options are 28 Vdc (pin 30) or 5 Vdc/5vrms (pin 8).
Step 5: System Wiring. Based on steps 1-5, choose the wiring diagrams from this
section that apply to your configuration. Note that if you have two RT-5000’s in your system,
copy the wiring illustrated for P501 to P502. In other words, choose the wiring for each radio
and apply it to the appropriate connector.

(3) Primary Carbon Mic HI/LO (Pins 9, 29)
These pins provide a 150 Ohm input impedance for the crew microphone input. Standard
Carbon Mic bias of 15V through 300 Ohms is provided. Standard modulation of 1 kHz
tone at 0.25 Vrms is factory set for ± 3 kHz deviation although an adjust range of 30 mV
to 1.5 Vrms is provided by A2R174 on the system interface board.
(4) Primary Mic PTT (Pin 18)
This pin, when grounded, activates the transceiver system(s) selected for the primary
mic/headset interface.
Note: The primary mic LO and PTT should be connected together at the mic interface
(audio panel or mic jack). Alternately, the mic LO should be grounded at the mic
interface as mic bias is not provided unless mic LO is DC grounded.
(5) Primary Headset Audio HI/COMMON (Pins 39, 40)
The pins provide receive and sidetone audio output for the transceiver system(s) selected
for the primary mic/headset interface. Standard audio levels of 100 mW into 600 Ohm
load is provided for standard modulation although an adjustment range of 0.5 to 200 mW
is provided by A2R86 of the system interface board.
(6) Secondary Carbon Mic HI/LO, Secondary PTT, and Secondary Headset Audio (Pins
10, 17, 20, 41)
These pins provide a similar interface as the primary counterparts with some functional
exceptions. Although levels and impedances provided are the same, the secondary
interface provides the limited function of talk and listen in clear, non-encrypted audio.
Features provided by the primary interface i.e. Selectable audio routing through internal
or external encryption systems integrated with the C-5000 are not supported at the
secondary interface.
(7) Shield (Pin 11)
All shields of signals originating at the C-5000 and terminating at other equipment should
be connected to this pin and left unterminated at the other equipment. Similarly, the
shields of signals originating at other equipment and terminating at the C-5000 should be
grounded at the other equipment and left unterminated at the C-5000.
(8) 27.5 Vdc A/C Power and Ground (Pin 43, 44)
These pins provide aircraft 27.5 Vdc power to the C-5000 system. Typical loading is
approximately 350 mA, however with external loading by auxiliary equipment connected
to ±15 V and +5 V pins provided, the current requirement can be 1.3 Amp at 27.5 Vdc
and approach 2 Amps at low voltage. Appropriate circuit breaker should be provided with
consideration given to separately powered radio equipment as part of the basic
communications equipment being controlled by the C-5000.

(9) 28V, 5V, Common Lites (Pins 8, 30, 50)
These pins provide for aircraft lite dimmer bus control of the keyboard lighting. Either
28 Vdc, 5 Vrms or 5 Vdc lighting may be used. The C-5000 does not draw power from
the buss but simply monitors the voltage for proper lite tracking. Only 5 V or 28 V may be
connected at once.
(10) RS-422 TX, RS-422 RX1, RS-422 RX2 HI/LO (Pins 2, 24, 25, 45, 46, 47)
These pins provide for a bi-directional digital data buss to other equipment on board the
aircraft. Two separate receive inputs are provided and the transmit pair may be
connected to multiple RS-422 devices. The receive shields should be connected only at
the originating equipment and the transmit shield should only be connected to the C-5000
shield pin.
(11) Internal Cipher Select A, B, C (Pins 5, 6, 55)
These pins are normally left unterminated and Internal Cipher Selection is managed from
the C-5000. Alternately, pins A, B, and C may be grounded in a binary fashion to provide
external selection of 1 of 7 internal cipher modes.
(12) Internal Cipher Disable (Pin 14)
This pin, when left unterminated, causes audio routing within the C-5000 to include the
Internal Cipher Interface. By grounding this pin, audio routing of the following signals is
to/from the external system interface for utilization with External Encryption Equipment,
auxiliary systems and functions generally used in conjunction with military equipment.
Associated signals routed to the External Interface are:
Mic output, voice band transmit audio input, wideband transmit audio input, wideband
receive audio output, voice band receiver audio output, decoded/de-encrypted voice
band received audio input, guard receiver voice band audio output.
This pin should normally be grounded unless an Internal Cipher module (or other special
module) is installed in the C-5000 and then it should be switched for Internal or External
routing of the "RT-X" signals.
(13) External Cipher Active (Pin 36)
This pin, when grounded, indicates to the C-5000 computer that external encryption
equipment connected to the system interface card is active and activated by external
control.
(14) XMT Audio IN HI/COMMON (Pins 3, 4)
This pair provides a voice band input to the transmitter(s) as selected by the crew.
Typical use is with external encryption equipment in which the mic input to the C-5000 is
routed out to the encryption unit and when the encryption unit is not active, the mic input
(voice band) is returned to this port for normal voice transmit. Standard levels are 0.9
Vrms into 600 Ω, although A2R160 and A2JP3 provide adjustment range of
approximately 40 mV (150 Ω) to 5.4 V (600Ω).

(15) Aux Audio IN HI (Pin 27)
This port provides an auxiliary input to the headset audio amplifiers (primary and
secondary). It is not switched and all inputs to this port will appear at the headset(s).
Typical use is alert tones, progress tones, medical telemetry equipment like Doppler
Monitors, etc. Typical input level of 0.5 Vrms (5k Ohm) will yield standard audio although
A2R102 on the system interface board provides an adjustment range of 0.33 to 7.75
Vrms.
(16) Plain/Cipher Select (Pin 35)
This output provides control signals to external equipment for activating encryption
equipment. For normal operation, this output is an open circuit. An active pull to ground is
provided for encryption active.
(17) Cipher/Plain Select (Pin 12)
This output is similar to Plain/Cipher, but is opposite polarity and provides a ground for
normal operation.
(18) Receiving External Encrypted Text (Pin 38)
This input, when grounded, indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external encryption
equipment at the system interface is receiving properly decoded and encrypted text.
(19) Transmitting External Encrypted Text (Pin 19)
When grounded, this input indicates to the C-5000 computer that the external encryption
equipment is active and is providing cipher text for wideband modulation to the crew
selected transmitter.
(20) PTT To Cipher (Pin 56)
This pin provides a ground to repeat the mic input (primary only).
(21) PTT From External Cipher (Pin 15)
When grounded, this pin will cause the C-5000 to remain in transmit mode. Transmitter
end of text messages can be transmitted after mic PTT has been released by utilizing this
input as a stretched or delayed PTT input.
(22) Zeroize (Pin 26)
This pin provides an output from the C-5000 to external encryption (internal as well)
equipment to erase key variables. This output is configured as standard to provide an
open circuit under normal operation and provide 27.5 Vdc to Zeroize key variables in
encryption equipment. By changing A2JP8 on the system interface board from "l to 2" to
"2 to 3", the output provides an active ground for Zeroizing (open circuit = normal).

(23) Mic Out HI/LO (Pins 48, 49)
This pair provides a buffered primary mic output. As standard configuration, the balanced
mic output is a combination of Primary Mic Input, REXMT Audio In, XMT Audio In and
Internal Cipher Voice XMT Audio. The level is set for 0.25 Vrms for standard modulation.
When external (or internal) encryption equipment is connected to the system interface
board, A2JP2 on the system interface board is typically moved from "l to 2" to "2 to 3"
and zero Ohm resistor A2R140 (system interface board) is removed. With A2JP2
changed and A2R140 removed, the mic out is only the buffered primary mic input. In
addition, the primary mic input is isolated from the rest of the C-5000 such that normal
clear text voice modulation must be routed from mic out Hi/Lo. In this configuration, the
external encryption equipment must be installed to complete the audio path from the
primary mic input to the selected transmitter(s). Jumpers from mic out Hi/Lo to XMT
Audio In Hi/Lo may be used temporarily when the external encryption equipment is
disconnected. Audio levels are typically 0.9 Vrms (600 Ω) although A2R170 on the
system interface board provides considerable adjustment range.
(24) Guard Precedence In or System Precedence Channel Select (Pin 22)
This pin, when grounded, disables nearly all of the C-5000 functions and channels the
system to a pre-stored precedence channel. The volume control is functional. This mode
is useful for an emergency mode in which all functions are disabled except basic
talk/listen on the pre-stored system precedence channel. Normal operation is with this pin
open circuited.
(25) Bandwidth Control In (Pin 23)
This pin, when grounded, activates the wideband mode on new WED radio equipment.
Normal mode is open circuit.
(26) RT-X Select A & B (Pins 16,33)
These pins, when grounded, provide and external selection (in binary format) of the
selected radio system 1, 2 or 3 to be routed to the internal or external system interface for
encryption or other functions connected to the system interface. Normal mode with
C-5000 selection of the RT-X (1, 2 or 3) system is provided when these lines are open
circuit.

(27) RT-X Guard Audio Out (Pin 13)
This pin provides the selected RT System Guard RCV Audio (voice band) signal for use
with external equipment. Typically the plain text guard audio is summed with decoded
main RCV audio and routed to the C-5000 for combined main (recovered cipher) and
guard (clear) to the headset. Standard levels are 2 Vrms at low impedance, although
A2R114 on the system interface board provides adjustment range of 0.5 to 4 Vrms.

(28) REXMT Audio In (Pin 7)
This input provides an auxiliary voice band transmit audio input and is summed with the
primary mic audio. The receive audio from other equipment can be routed to this port and
in conjunction with the "PTT from Ext. Cipher" (an auxiliary PTT input), a multi-system
relay can be established. A level of 2 Vrms for standard modulation is standard, although
A2R167 on the system interface board provides an adjustment range of 0.1 to 7.75 Vrms.
(29) RT-X REXMT Audio Out (Pin 1)
This pin provides a voice band receive audio output from the selected RT system (1, 2 or
3). The audio is normal audio from the selected radio system and includes both main and
guard audio as well as sidetone during XMT. In conjunction with REXMT control key out,
(squelch activity from this system and PTT input to other aircraft equipment) this signal
may be used in a multi system relay to provide receive audio from this system to transmit
audio to other equipment on board the aircraft.
Typical application with external encryption equipment connected to the system interface
utilizes this signal as clear text receive audio to be routed to, and returned from, the
external equipment in time of nonencrypted reception to the RT-X Decoded Audio Input.
The signal level is 2 Vrms for standard voice, although A2R108 on the system board
provides an adjustment range of 0.2 to 7.75 Vrms.
(30) RT-X REXMT Control Key Out (Pin 34)
This signal provides a ground output when the selected radio system (1, 2 or 3) main
receiver is active (squelch activity). This signal provides a PTT input to other aircraft
equipment in a multi-system relay mode.
(31) RT-X WB MN RCV Audio Out (Pin 37)
This signal is a wideband received audio signal from the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3)
main receiver. It is not squelch gated and typically is used with external encryption
equipment connected to the system interface. The standard level is 6 Vpp although
A2R135 provides an adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp. The Motorola encryption
equipment requires 4 Vpp.
(32) EXT RT-X Decoded RCV Audio (Pin 42)
This input is typically used with external encryption equipment connected to the system
interface. The signal is the decoded or de-encrypted voice band clear text from the
encryption system. By proper C-5000 system programming, this signal can be routed
directly as the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3) recovered audio or it can be internally
summed with the selected RT system guard audio, sidetone, or both. In addition, the
recovered audio can also be programmed to provide de-emphasis if required. A level of 2
Vrms is standard, although A2R131 provides an adjustment range of 0.25 to 7.75 Vrms.

(33) EXT RT-X WB XMT Audio (Pin 61)
This input provides for wideband digital audio (encrypted or cipher text) modulation input
to the selected RT system (1, 2 or 3). Modulation level of 6Vpp is standard, although
A2R141 on the system interface board provides and adjustment range of 1.2 to 12 Vpp.
(34) AUX +15 Vdc (Pin 60)
This output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. Total load cannot exceed
600 mA. In addition, the combined external load of + 15V, -15V and +5V outputs cannot
exceed 11.5 Watts.
(35) AUX -15 Vdc (Optional) (Pin 28)
This optional output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. A jumper must
be installed on the system interface board to activate this output. Total load for this output
cannot exceed 100 mA. In addition, the combined external load of +15V, -15V and +5V
outputs cannot exceed 11.5 Watts.
(36) AUX +5 VDC (Optional) (Pin 58)
This optional output can be used to power external auxiliary equipment. A jumper must
be installed on the system interface board to activate this output. Total load for this output
cannot exceed 200 mA. In addition, the combined external load of +15V, -15V and +5V
outputs cannot exceed 11.5 Watts.
(37) AUX GND (Pin 62)
This is a C-5000 power ground connection suitable for electrical reference ground to
other auxiliary equipment.

52, 53, 55, 57)
The channeling lines use BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) negative logic to control the
Transceiver channel frequency. These lines are grounded by the Control Unit to channel
the Transceiver to the selected frequency. The channel is determined by adding the
weighted value of each line. To channel a transceiver to 157.135 MHz, the following
lines would be grounded:
100 MHz line
40 MHz line
10 MHz line
4MHz line
2MHz line
1MHz line
0.1 MHz line
0.02 MHz line
0.01 MHz line

157.135 MHz
Unselected channel lines should exceed +8 Vdc.
(4) TONE A, B, C, D, E (Pins 1, 6, 12, 29, 43)
These lines are used to provide pre-programmed control of a synthesized CTCSS
encoder/decoder in the transceiver. The order of the lines follows a binary code with E
the most significant bit and A the least significant. Logic "0" is a ground line and logic "1"
must be greater than 8 volts. Refer to Section 6, Preset Channel Programming, for
information on programming tones and Table 6-2, Section 6, for available frequencies.
(5) MAIN TONE ENABLE (Pin 23)
This line, when grounded, will activate the continuous tone controlled squelch system
(CTCSS) for either transmit tone encode or main receiver tone decode. The tone
frequency is determined by the Tone A, B, C, D, E lines.
(6) ON/OFF (Pin 8)

Receiver audio. The main squelch test function is disabled, yet the main channel
indicator shows channel activity.
(8) GUARD RX AUDIO DISABLE (Pin 54)
Grounding this line disables guard audio, but does not affect Main Receiver or sidetone
audio. The guard channel indicator continues to indicate guard channel activity.
(9) MAIN SQUELCH LITE (Pin 58)
The Transceiver pulls this line low to activate the main squelch annunciator in the Control
Unit.
(10) GUARD SQUELCH LITE (Pin 48)
The Transceiver Guard Module pulls this line low to activate the guard squelch
annunciator in the Control Unit.
(11) TX POWER LITE (Pin 2)
The transceiver pulls this line low to activate the transmit annunciator in the Control Unit.
(12) SQUELCH DISABLE (Pin 25)
This line is grounded by the test (squelch disable) button on the Control Unit. It opens
the squelch gate for the Main or Guard Receiver unless:
• In the Transmit Mode.
• Main or Guard RCVR Audio is disabled by the Control Unit.
• Frequency Synthesizer not locked (Main only).
In addition, the Main and Guard Squelch indicators will activate unless disabled by the
following conditions:
• Transmit Mode.
• Frequency Synthesizer not locked (Main only)
(13) RESERVED SPARE (Pins 15, 16, 56)
These lines provide a user programmable combination of discrete electronic switches for
each channel. Each channel memory discrete state may differ between transmit and
receive on any channel. These outputs are programmed when the channel information
and tone code information are entered into the Control Unit.
Some possible uses for these include:
C-5000 COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT CONTROLLER

Sep 2001
• Antenna switching
• External encoder enable (disable).
• External decoder enable (disable).
• Any functional or equipment switching associated with a given channel.
These switch closures may be combined with a digital decoder to expand the capabilities.
These switches are open collector drivers. Open switch voltages may not exceed +30 V,
and in the closed condition, the switches will sink up to 40 mA.
(14) CONTROL UNIT GROUND (Pin 62)
This line provides signal ground reference for the Control Unit. (The Control Unit
electronics are isolated from the chassis).
(15) AUDIO HI AND LO (Pin 41, 61)
These lines provide a balanced 600 Ohm audio output from the Transceiver and are set
for 100 mW into a 600 Ohm load. (7.75 Vrms)
(16) MIC HI AND LO/PTT (Pin 11, 33)
These lines are used for voice modulation and to enable the transmitter. Mic sensitivity is
factory set for an input of 0.25VRMS at 1 kHz to provide ±3 kHz FM deviation, 85% AM
modulation. The MIC LO/PTT line activates the transmitter when grounded and disables
the receiver outputs.
(17) TX (Transceiver Or Control, Pin 39)
The Transceiver and control pull their respective TX lines low during transmit to provide
TX information to auxiliary equipment.
(18) EXTERNAL ENCODE IN (Pin 45)
This line provides for modulating the transmitter from external encoding devices in the
frequency range of 60 to 3000Hz. Inputs of 1.0 Vrms will yield approximately ±2.5 to
±3 kHz deviation. The RT-138F and RT-406F Frequency Range is approximately 1Hz to
6 kHz.
(19) UNSQUELCHED MAIN AUDIO (Pin 21)
This line provides unsquelched audio from the Main Receiver. The frequency response
is flat from 60 Hz to 5 kHz. A received signal of 1 kHz tone at ±3 kHz deviation will

(3) AUDIO AND SIDETONE HI AND LO (Pins 13, 14, 15 and 16)
These wires are provided separately for those systems that have separate transmitter
sidetone circuits. They should be paralleled when driving a speaker directly. 10 Watt
audio rated transceivers are not accommodated. In the case of the 100 mW
transceivers, the audio and sidetone outputs (output impedance of 600 Ohms) must be
set for 7.8 Vrms into 600 Ohms.
(4) DF DISABLE (Pin 54)
This line will disable the linear IF inside the unit and provide superior squelch action and
sensitivity when connected airframe ground. It should be permanently grounded at the
mounting rack when DF equipment is not installed in the aircraft. If used with DF
equipment, this line must be open during Direction Finding operations.
(5) DF AUDIO (Pin 19)
Provides an audio output for use with DF equipment requiring AM receiver response.
With an output impedance of 500 Ohms, the DF Audio output can supply 400 mVrms
open circuit with an RF signal modulated 50% at 1000 Hz.
When the RT-7200 or RT-9600(F) is used in conjunction with the Collins DF301E
automatic Direction Finder, knowledge of the Transceiver modulation phase delay at
5.68 kHz is necessary for proper DF301E compensation. This phase information is found
on a label on the rear panel of the RT-7200, or RT-9600, RT-9600F.
For DF or ADF systems designed to be used in conjunction with FM receivers, use
UNSQUELCHED MAIN AUDIO as the audio connection from the transceiver to the DF or
ADF unit.
(6) UNSQUELCHED MAIN AUDIO (Pin 12)
Buffered output of the main FM receiver, unaffected by squelch action. Provided for use
with external audio decoders. Standard modulation produces 0.58 Vrms into 1k Ohm or
greater impedance. Do not load this output with less than 600 Ohms.
(7) UNSQUELCHED GUARD AUDIO (Pin 30)
Buffered output for the guard receiver, unaffected by squelch action. Provided for use
with external audio decoders. Standard modulation produces 0.58 Vrms into 1k Ohm or
greater impedance. Do not load this output with less than 600 Ohms.
(8) MAIN AUDIO INHIBIT (Pin 26)
When grounded, will mute audio outputs from the main receiver.
(9) EXTERNAL GUARD AUDIO INHIBIT (Pin 25)
When grounded, will mute audio outputs for the guard receiver.

(10) EXTERNAL CTCSS TONE IN (Pin 18)
Provision for modulating the transmitter with audio outside the normal audio frequency
range of 300 to 3000 Hz. Approximately 0.3 Vrms will give 5 kHz deviation.
(11) TRANSMITTER POWER SELECT (Pin 27)
When used with control units not providing transmitter power selector switches,
grounding this line at the mounting rack will provide 10 watts of RF output power. The
C-920 has this line grounded inside the control unit and will provide 10 watts when used.
(12) 14V SWITCHED (Pins 65 And 66)
Provision for switched 14 V power from the RT-7200/RT-9600. These pins will provide
14 Vdc. Exercise caution not to exceed a combined current drain of 500 mA from pins 65

Introduction
The Wulfsberg C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control head
device that controls one or two Wulfsberg transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of Wulfsberg
FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct the
user on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-5000 apart from
any other communication device.
Features
The C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including
• Controls Wulfsberg RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT-7200 transceivers.
• 350 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Wulfsberg’s Remote Programmer software.
• Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.
• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.
• Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as P25 Digital Modulation and
encryption with Over the Air Rekey (OTAR) capability.
Transceiver Overview
The C-5000 provides support for the Wulfsberg FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers.
It is very important that users know how many radios and what type are connected to the C-5000 since transceivers
have very different capabilities and features. Here is a summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities.
FLEXCOMM II
This product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceivers covering the 29.7 to 960 MHz frequency range. The
optional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard (available in three frequency ranges), a
29.7 – 960 MHz receiver capable of being programmed with two Guard channels, or a receiver with one or two
modules capable of RT-5000’s are equipped with CTCSS and DCS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.
The MTM Guard variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-
air-rekey (OTAR) capability.
FLEXCOM I
This product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000 also supports
the RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but remain in wide use. The RT-
30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99 MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to
511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-
controlled, Guard Receiver that operates on a customer-specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSS
decoder with programmable Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.

FLITECOMM
This product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200, RT-9600, and
RT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that could be
user-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950 MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and
173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F). They were equipped with CTCSS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.

Steps to Successful Setup and Operation
While we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takes
a little work to get to that point. The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 and
RT-5000.
1. Connect C-5000 to the transceivers. Note part numbers of the Control head and all transceivers.
C-5000 Part Number = 31300-1X02- ____________
Radio #1 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________
Radio #2 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________
2. Configure the C-5000 using the steps outlined in the manual. You must know the last four digits of the C-5000
part number and the last four digits of any RT-5000’s or the model type of any Flexcomm/Flitecomm
Transceiver.
3. If Radio #1 is an RT-5000 that has a MTM Guard Receiver (-06XX or greater) connect a PC to the 9-pin
programming port of the RT-5000 and run the Motorola RSS software.
4. Put the C-5000 in RSS mode for radio #1 and select the first ITM to appear.
5. Using the RSS software, read the codeplug out of the ITM.
6. Modify system settings for your application. Program personalities. Assign zone/Channels. These steps
require significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage enlisting the help of someone familiar
with Motorola RSS software to successfully program the ITM.
NOTE: ZONE 1 CHANNEL 1 MUST BE ASSIGNED TO A PERSONALITY THAT HAS DIFFERENT
RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES!!!!!
7. Save the modified codeplug to disk and load it into the ITM.
8. Make a listing of all ZONE/CHANNELS Information needed by the C-5000 preset channel programming.
Zone ______ Channel ______
RX Frequency = ______________________ RX Tone = __________
TX Frequency = ______________________ TX Tone = __________
Modulation = ______________(FM,P25,TRK)
9. Do the above for the second ITM if there is one in Radio #1
10. Do the above for Radio #2 only if its an RT-5000 with an MTM Guard (-06XX or greater)
11. Using the front panel or better yet the Wulfsberg RP software, program all preset channels including the ones
programmed into each ITM module in the steps above.
12. Using a communication analyzer or over the air test, verify that each radio and channel operates properly.

2) The cursor will not move under the alphanumeric identifier field if the manual channel is
selected.
Selecting the Manual Channel
The manual channel is used to tune channels not already programmed as presets into the C-5000’s memory. Each
radio has its own manual channel. The manual channel is located at channel number 0, and is displayed as “..M”.
You can select the manual channel by either entering channel 0 from the keypad, or by dialing it in using the
cursor/value knobs. The following illustration depicts a C-5000 with the manual channel for radio 1 selected.

The manual channel’s frequency is displayed in place of the alphanumeric identifier for preset channels. Once the
manual channel is selected, press the EDIT button to edit the channel information. The C-5000 automatically stores
the manual channel information on power down.
Using the Direct/Repeat Feature
The C-5000 supports both direct and repeat modes of operation. Any preset channel that has identical transmit and
receive frequencies is considered a direct channel. If the transmit and receive frequencies are different, the C-5000
considers the channel a repeater channel. Repeater channels can be temporarily changed into direct channels by
pressing the DIR button. This will temporarily copy the receive frequency into the transmit frequency. The direct
mode indicator will light. The following illustration shows radio 1 in direct mode.

Configuring the C-5000 Using a PC
Wulfsberg highly recommends using the PC based Remote Programmer (RP) software to specify the C-5000’s
configuration. The Remote Programmer software offers several advantages over using the C-5000’s front panel.
• Allows you to specify a C-5000’s configuration in less time.
• Enhanced error checking reduces the likelihood of specifying an incorrect configuration.
• A configuration can be specified once and loaded to multiple C-5000’s, saving huge amounts of data entry time.
• Configurations can be saved, archived, and backed-up, reducing the likelihood of lost data.
• Configurations can be sucked out of C-5000’s as well, saving data entry time on existing configurations.
Refer to the Remote Programmer software’s user manual for details on how to specify C-5000 configurations in RP.
Downloading a Configuration from RP into the C-5000
The C-5000 continuously polls the data port on the front panel for incoming data, so all the user has to do is initiate
the download from RP. Refer to RP’s user manual for details on how to initiate a download. Once the
communication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the following.

RSS SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAMMING
Before You Begin
To program the ITM inside the RT-5000 the user must use a DOS based PC (the slower the better!) and Motorola’s
RSS software. Users must obtain their own copies of the Software as Wulfsberg cannot supply it. The
programming of the ITM requires three basic steps. First, enter the information that has to do with the setup of the
way the RT-5000 communicates with the ITM. Second enter channel information, or what Motorola call
“Personalities”, and finally assign the personalities to Zone and Channels. Doing all of this in NOT for the faint of
heart. In fact, it is best to enlist the help of an experienced RSS programmer.
There are almost uncountable numbers of “system” options in Motorola products that make programming this
system very tedious at best. If your agency uses Motorola XTS-3000 model handhelds, the simplest way to get
started is to use an archive from a known properly programmed XTS-3000. Then make the necessary changes and
then program ITM.
Alternatively, the ITM comes from the factory with all the necessary information loaded in it for basic operation.
The user only needs to load system information such as USER ID’s etc., personalities, and zone/channel allocation.
Once an archive for an ITM is established, it can be cloned to other ITM’s in other RT-5000’s
The RSS software only allows the programmer to see and change functions that are available with the hardware it is
trying to program. As such, not all of the screens listed will be seen for every model of ITM.
The following are descriptions of what may be found on each page of the software. At any time, you may press F1
to access the online help screen for the page that you are currently viewing. Notice that all screens follow the same
format – the upper left box describes where you are in the software, the upper right box gives brief help and error
messages, while the lower box describes what each “F” key does on that page:
KEYBOARD INFO – This is accessed by pressing F1 then F2 from any page. Notice that the UP/DOWN arrows
are used to change a value or selection while the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys are used to navigate around a menu.
Main Menu Operations
MAIN MENU – This is the first screen that is shown when the software is started. Make sure that you execute the
ASTROP version and NOT the ASTROM (which is for Mobile-Vehicle Radios). From this page, all other sections
of the software may be accessed.
F3 GET/SAVE/PROGRAM/CLONE – Gateway to the submenu for Archive loading from Disk or from radio,
Archive Saving to disk or to a radio, and cloning from one radio into another.
F4 CHANGE/VIEW – Gateway to the submenus for viewing or changing the makeup of the Archive that is
currently loaded into active memory.
F5 PRINT – Gateway to the submenu that controls the Print function for the Archive that is currently loaded into
active memory. Since this is a DOS based program, printing is best accomplished using an older Dot Matrix printer.
F6 FILE MAINTENANCE – Gateway to the submenu that allows BASIC Archive file maintenance on disk.
(Remember, this is a DOS based program!)

F9 SETUP – Gateway to submenu for setting up the program. Includes such items as file locations and colors of the
screen.
Some areas that will NOT be used:
F2 SERVICE – This is used by service personnel align the receiver and transmitter of the ITM.
F8 FLASH UPGRADE – this is used by technicians to perform updates to the radio feature set.
GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU – Displayed by pressing F3 at the MAIN MENU. The following actions are
performed here:
F2 READ DATA – This is how you will draw the Archive information out of an existing ITM’s codeplug inside an
RT-5000. There is NO need for the RIB (Radio Interface Box). The RIB technology has been designed into the
RT-5000. All that is required is a DB9 female to DB9 Female Cable connected to the serial port of the PC and to
the Transceiver programming connector in the aircraft. To start the download, attach the cable, setup the C-5000
for RSS programming (Described elsewhere), and press F2 on this menu. You will see a status bar as the software
reads the data from the ITM Codeplug. REMEMBER, there is a separate codeplug inside each ITM inside each RT-
5000! Once read, the data will reside in active memory and, if changed, must either be reloaded into the ITM
codeplug OR saved to an archive file on disk.
F3 GET CODEPLUG DATA – This menu selection leads to the list of available Archive files on disk. It tries to
locate these files in the Directory (Old DOS term for FOLDER) where the RSS program was setup to locate the
Archive files.
F5 CLONE RADIO – This is the Gateway to the CLONE Radio feature that allows copying an Archive load that is
resident in active memory into another ITM radio Codeplug.
F7 SAVE CODEPLUG DATA – This leads to submenu that allows saving an Archive file to disk.
F8 PROGRAM DATA – Like the F2 function, this is used to program an Archive from active memory into an ITM
Codeplug. As with F2, the RIB is not required since the technology is built into the RT-5000 hardware. Simply
attach the DB-9 cable between the PC and the Aircraft Transceiver programming connector, setup the C-5000 for
RSS programming (Described Elsewhere), and press the F8 button. A progress bar will appear indicating the
progress of the load.
F9 RADIO PROGRAM HISTORY – Shows a submenu of the history of the current Archive that is resident in
active memory.
ARCHIVE FILES – Displayed by pressing F3 ! F3 from the Main Menu. This screen is used to select an
Archive from Disk to load into active memory. Functions include:
F2 CHANGE ARCHIVE – Allows you to re-enter the complete Archive path shown at the top of the main display
box. Used to find Archives in different directories or drives.
F5 DELETE SELECTED – WARNING – there is NO Undo!
F6 CHDIR UP – Move UP one level in the directory structure on the disk (DOS !!!)
F7 CHDIR DOWN – Move DOWN one level in the directory structure on the disk (DOS !!!)
F8 GET ARCHIVE – Loads the Archive under the highlight into resident active memory for further viewing,
editing, or downloading into a radio codeplug.
NEW TRUNKING IDS - Displayed by pressing F3 ! F5 from the Main Menu. This is the main screen for
CLONING the Archive currently loaded in active memory into other ITM codeplugs. Although the modules

be used.
To perform a CLONE, have an Archive loaded into resident memory. Set up the C-5000 per instructions located
elsewhere in this document to make it ready to communicate with the RSS program. Connect the PC to the RT
System programming port (a DB-9 connector located somewhere in the aircraft.) Go to this screen and press F3 to
enter the target ITM’s MDC UID and ASTRO ID (Only for applicable systems See Below). Then, back on this
screen, press F2 to read the target ITM’s serial number. Finally, press F8 to activate the CLONE. A status bar will
appear indicating progress of the load.
F2 READ SERIAL NUMBER – This is used to read the serial number from an ITM codeplug just prior to activating
the CLONE feature.
F3 CONV ID – Gateway to submenus for entering MDC UID and ASTRO ID.
F4 LIMITED CLONE –
F6 DUPLICATE II/Iii – Not Used
F7 SAVE FILE – Same as F7 on the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU
F8 – PROGRAM RADIO – Final step in the CLONE Process. Press this when appropriate data is ready to be
downloaded into target ITM codeplug.
MDC DATA CLONING – Displayed by pressing F3 ! F5 ! F3 from the Main Menu. This screen is a submenu
of the CLONE Screen and is used to enter the MDC UID for the target ITM codeplug that is about to be CLONED
into. Currently, the only required entry is the PRIMARY ID. Leave the other two fields at all “0”’s. The MDC
UID should be obtained from your network administrator.
F2 READ SERIAL NUMBER – Same as the F2 on the NEW TRUNKING ID Screen
F4 ASTRO ID – Gateway to the submenu for ASTRO ID Entry .
ASTRO RADIO DATA CLONING – Displayed by pressing F3 ! F5 ! F3 ! F4 from the Main Menu. This is
used to enter the ASTRO ID for the target ITM codeplug that is about to be CLONED into. Currently, there should
only be one field to enter the ASTRO ID, which should be obtained from a system administrator. Press F10 to exit
back to the NEW TRUNKING ID Screen to proceed with the CLONE operation.
SAVE CODEPLUG DATA TO ARCHIVE FILE – Displayed by pressing F3 ! F7 from the Main Menu. This is

integration. Any entry showing on this screen is the factory default and may remain.
ZONE / TALKGROUP (CHANNEL) ASSIGNMENT – Displayed by pressing F4 ! F8 from the main menu.
This menu is used to assign any of the possible 255 Personalities to a specific zone and channel. The radio module
has the capability of 16 zones each containing 16 channels. While each personality MUST be assigned to at least
one zone/channel location, there is no requirement that all zone/channel locations be filled.
NOTE: One VERY CRITICAL requirement for the proper integration of the ITM with the Wulfsberg
system is that the personality assigned to Zone 1 Channel 1 MUST BE A REPEATER. Any repeater
personality will fulfill this requirement.
“F” Keys are used to add additional zones (up to 16) and additional channels (up to 16) within each existing zone.
Zones may be given an alpha-numeric name, though this is not required in the C-5000 integration. Additionally,
each channel location within a zone may be given an alpha-numeric name. Although it has no functionality in the
C-5000 integration, the channel locations within a zone should be labeled with the proper name of the frequencies
that are loaded into the respective personality. This will aid greatly in viewing printouts of the codeplug data. If a
given zone has more than 8 channels assigned to it, use the page up or page down buttons to slew the display screen
to the opposing set of 8 channels within the zone. “F” Keys are also used to move between zones, although you may
also place the cursor under the ZONE NUMBER entry and either use the up/down arrow keys or enter a specific
zone number to view. All zone/channel entries will be CONV which stands for Conventional (as opposed to
Trunking). The Personality Number is derived in the Conventional Personalities section of the RSS software (Main
Menu – F4 ! F6 ! F3) A record must be kept during programming as to what frequency set (channel) is assigned
to what zone/channel location.
To add an additional zone, press F2 and then F3. This adds a new zone to the end of the existing zones. If it is
desired to insert a new zone between two existing zones, press F2 followed by F2. New zones may also be copied
from existing zones by entering the source zone number in the field that states DEFAULT DATA after pressing F2
to add the zone. Zones may be deleted using the F5 key. As with zones, channels may be added to the end of
existing channels, inserted between existing channels, and copied from existing channels.
When adding new channels, first generate a new channel location using the F6 key. Then TAB to the CHANNEL
NAME and enter the proper name of the channel. Next, TAB twice to the PERSONALITY NUMBER field and
enter the specific number of the personality where the channel frequency and related information have been
previously entered. Continue to enter new channels until all 16 channel locations in the current zone are full. As the
actual display of the ITM is not used, personalities may be assigned to zones and channels sequentially beginning
with zone 1 - channel 1 on through zone 16 - channel 16.

Glossary
AM – Acronym for “Amplitude Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the amplitude of the signal is varied in
proportion to the voice or data input signal. The signal quality can be severely degraded because of lightning
or man made electrical noise. AM is only used in the frequency ranges 108 to 152 MHz and 225 to 400
MHz. All air traffic control functions use AM modulation.
Audio Phase – The RT-5000 can invert the phase of the audio signal during transmit or receive. This is sometimes
necessary for DPL systems to work.
Bandwidth – A term used to describe the amount of frequency a channel has to transmit a signal. Two of the most
common FM channel bandwidths are 12.5 kHz (Narrow) and 25 kHz (Standard). Some special signals, such
as military encryption, work best when using 35 kHz (Wide) or 70 kHz (Extra-wide) channels. All of these
bandwidths are available in the RT-5000.
Channel – A group of radio characteristics, such as receive & transmit frequencies, modulation, power levels, etc.
CMC – An acronym for Communication Management Controller. The C-5000 is a CMC.
CTCSS – Acronym for “Continuous Coded Squelch System”.
DCS – Acronym for “Digital Coded Squelch”
DES – Acronym for “Digital Encryption Standard”. This is an algorithm by which signals are encrypted.
Deviation – The amount of peak change the RF signal varies from the carrier in proportion to the amplitude of the
voice signal.
DPL – Acronym for “Digital Private Line”. Also known as DCS.
DTMF – Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. On a telephone keypad, each row and column have unique audio tones
that are sent when a button is pushed. At the receiver, a decoder listens for a row tone and a column tone and
can determine from that, which button has been pushed.
Direct – Also known as simplex, car-to-car, and talk-around. This mode of operation allows you to bypass the
repeater and talk directly to another radio. Transmit and receive frequencies are the same.
Encryption – Method by which a signal is “scrambled” so that other listeners cannot understand what is being
transmitted.
Encryption Key – When encrypting a transmission, the algorithm used to scramble the information requires both
the transmitting and receiving devices to have a number. This number is called an Encryption Key. Some
systems are limited to one key and others are capable of having multiple keys.
Flexcomm I – First generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-1000 control head
and RT-30, RT-138(F), RT-450, RT-406F transceivers.
Flexcomm II – Second generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-5000 control
head and RT-5000 multi-band transceiver.
FM – Acronym for “Frequency Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the signal is varied from
its center point in proportion to the amplitude of the voice or data signal. Most importantly, this type of
modulation is not affected by lightning or other atmospheric noise.

Guard Receiver – Second receiver added to the transceiver to monitor a specific frequency. Some common
“guard” frequencies are 121.5, 243, Marine channel 16, and Marine channel 70. However, this optional
function can also be used to monitor a dispatch channel, or an important tactical frequency. Some Guard
receivers have a single frequency that is set in hardware. Other options, available only in the RT-5000, are a
programmable dual channel receiver and a multi-band P25/Trunking compatible unit.
IF Injection – In a superhetrodyne receiver, high frequency signals are progressively lowered in frequency until
only the audio is left. This is done by multiplying the RF Signal by a sinewave either above or below the RF
carrier. Mathematically this results in an “Intermediate Frequency” (IF) frequency that is the sum and
difference of the two signals. The RT-5000 has the capability of having either High (Above) or Low (Below)
the signal frequency. What this means is if you have a signal interfering with the desired signal, sometimes
the interference can be eliminated by switching either the 2nd or 3rd injection setting.
Interoperability – The ability for different radio systems to communicate with each other directly. For example,
when one manufacturer’s radio products will communicate with another’s, they are said to be “Interoperable”.
ITM – “Internal Transceiver Module”. This is the module that is physically placed in the Guard Receiver slot in the
RT-5000. This is the part of the radio that can perform P25, encryption, and Motorola Trunking. Each ITM covers
a specific frequency band – 138-174, 403-470, 450-520, and 800 MHz. Up to two ITM’s can be put into one RT-
5000 however one must be below 400 MHz and one above 400 MHz.
KEYMAT – Another name for encryption key.
KVL – Acronym for Key Variable Loader. It is a Motorola product for loading encryption keys into an encryption
capable radio.
Main Receiver – Full function receiver located in every transceiver.
Manual Channel – A special preset channel that allows the operator to manipulate channel information “on the fly”
without going into programming mode. On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located at
channel 0.
MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a main and
guard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only one receiver,
the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is monitored.
MODE 2 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the main and guard receiver are both
monitoring frequencies at the same time. The user interface is more complex in that the user must select
using the silver “soft” buttons on the C-5000 which channel to display and transmit on.
OTAR – Acronym for “Over The Air Re-key”. Method by which the Encryption Key is transmitted over the radio
channel, hence “over the air”.
P25 – Digital Modulation Standard.
Page – The contents of the display. Sometimes called a screen or view.
PL – Acronym for “Private Line”. Also known as CTCSS or sub-audible tone.
Preset Channel – A channel that has been programmed into the memory of a control head or transceiver.
Private – Another name for encryption.

Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another radio.
Transmit and receive frequencies are different.
RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Wulfsberg’s software to program the C-5000 with channel information
via a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that this method is
used whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is available for
emergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically provides for memory
backup in case on control head failure.
RSS – Acronym for “Radio Service Software”. A PC application used for configuring, uploading, and downloading
information into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.
RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a single
transceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be ganged together and controlled as one
radio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.
RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”
Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.
Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal has been detected by the radio and
audio is allowed to go to the user.
Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.
Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available channel to the
operator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more conversations are going on than
channels available. There are many different Trunking systems available. Most are proprietary to each
manufacturer. In other words, system built by different radio manufacturers will NOT communicate with
each other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guarantees interoperability.
TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.
Volume – Loudness of a voice signal.

Appendix B – Mode 2 Operation
Overview
The C-5000 has the capability to control the RT-5000 in such a way that the user can monitor both the main and the
Guard (ITM) channel at the same time. This mode of operation is more difficult to use than MODE 1.
The Home Page
The only visible difference in the HOME PAGE from Mode 1 operation is in the Main/Guard status fields. The
illustration below depicts the HOME PAGE for a system comprised of two digital RT-5000 radios. Both radios are
configured to operate in Mode 2. The Main transceiver is the active transceiver on radio 1. The digital transceiver
(Guard) is the active transceiver on radio 2. The active transceiver is the one that will transmit when the push-to-
talk switch is depressed.

Setting the Active Transceiver
You can toggle the active transceiver for a radio between Main and Guard by pressing the soft keys. The UPPER
SOFT key toggles the active transceiver for radio 1. The LOWER SOFT key toggles the active transceiver for radio
2. The following sequence of illustrations demonstrates this process for radio 1.

Selecting Preset Channels
Selecting preset channels in Mode 2 is conceptually the same as in Mode 1. If an MTM Guard receiver is active, the
user can only select preset channels programmed for an ITM, and the main transceiver will only allow you to select
channels programmed for a main transceiver. A ramification of this is that you cannot select the manual channel
while the Guard receiver is active.

SECTION 6 -SYSTEM VERIFICATION PROCEDURE
1. General
The following procedure is written for the purpose of verifying the installation of the C-5000
and associated radio systems. It assumes the user has basic knowledge of the operation of
the C-5000 in order to perform this procedure. If need be, review the C-5000 operations
manual before beginning the procedure. This procedure can be performed without the use
of complex test equipment such as audio generators and communication analyzers but
does require some kind of transceiver (another aircraft or a handheld) to generate and
decode signals.
2. Verify that the Control Head DSUZ mounts are fastened.
3. Verify that the Radio is FIRMLY attached to the mounting tray.
4. Verify that all connectors are attached at the control head, the transceivers, and antennas
systems.
5. Apply power to the system. Push the “Power ON” button on the C-5000 if necessary. The
display should light up with the normal startup message screen (copyright Wulfsberg
Electronics etc.). If no errors are found, the display will show the normal operational page.
6. Verify that the C-5000 keypad brightness changes when changing the cockpit panel light.
This will only change the keypad brightness, not the display. To verify that the display
brightness can be adjusted, use the display brightness adjustment procedure listed in the
operations manual.
7. Load or verify that the C-5000 configuration information has been loaded into the C-
5000. This step must be performed or the system will not operate properly.
Information such as what number and type of transceivers are installed must be entered
into the C-5000 configuration. If the RP Software (a PC Based program) is available, use it
to download a database of preset channels and system configuration into the C-5000.
8. If an RT-5000 transceiver with an MTM Guard receiver( P/N 400-015525-0611 and higher)
is in the system, load channel and frequency information into the transceiver using the
Motorola RSS software.
9. Press each button on the C-5000 and verify its function is performed. In addition, verify that
the cursor/value knobs turn properly and the “ENTER” button functions.
10. Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and the C-5000. Select a valid preset channel
for Transceiver #1 or use the manual channel to select valid receive/transmit frequencies.
Make sure all necessary switches on the audio panel are enabled. Verify all volume pots on
the audio panel are at a normal level. Press the TEST button on the C-5000 keypad. The
squelch indicator for Transceiver #1 should light and audio noise should be heard in the
headset. Adjust the inner (Small) left volume knob up or down to the desired volume level.
11. Perform Step 6 for all Transceivers in the system. This will verify that all radios are
connected, powered up, and able to send audio to the control head.

12. Using a signal generator or a known available channel, verify that all transceivers can
receive normal signals. Standard signals that may be used are air traffic control tower or
ATIS frequencies for AM channels (RT-5000 only) and NOAA weather channels for VHF
FM frequencies. Verify the frequencies above
13. Select Transceiver #1 using the audio panel and attempt to transmit to a known good
receiver (Both the transmitter and the receiver must be using the same frequency). Press
the aircraft PTT switch and verify that the C-5000 display shows a transmit condition and
that the receiver detects a valid voice signal.
14. Repeat Step 9 for every transmitter in the system.
Please note that when testing the RT-5000 Transceiver, verify that the radio has been put
into AM mode if attempting to communicate with a Air Traffic control tower or the ATIS
channel. If the radio is accidentally left in FM mode, signal quality will be severely degraded
in the both the transmit, and receive functions.
15. If possible take a flight test and determine performance at various altitudes and distances.
There is no possible way to predict actual performance since variables such as antenna
placement, coax quality, ground station quality are different for every installation. The key
issue is to determine if the system will function acceptably for the user’s application.
16. Verify that the Transceivers in the system do not interfere with each other and other
systems on the aircraft such as AM COMS and GPS receivers. If interference exists, adjust
antenna locations to maximize distance (horizontal and vertical) between antenna systems.
