[Motorola] RE: JPS ACU-1000 and Motorola XTL-5000 Mobiles

[Gilbert Stamper]

As it happens, Jay, I have just finished a fairly large (50 vehicles) which
installed an ACU-1000 and three XTL-5000's in a self-contained transit case
which is mounted in a communcations van.

The radios I used were not dual-control head, but the dash-mount style.  The
system functions very well.  The ACU-1000 has been able, so far, to
withstand the riggors of being bounced around in the van (although the vans
don't go "off road."  I do know that JPS makes a cable that interfaces
between the control head and the radio "brick" and provides the audio path
and PTT path needed by the ACU-1000.  I don't know of anything that would
prevent you from using the accessory connector just as well.  My vote would
be to go ahead with the project.
