[Motorola] Powering a Astro_Spectra?

[KB0NLY]

Are these 100w remote mounts?  I think that’s what you were dealing with. 
If so there should be a green and orange wire at the control head end of the 
control cable, apply power to them, one is ignition sense the other is 
transmit enable.

If they are mid power dash mount mobiles with the DB15 connector on the rear 
end of them then yes they also need an ignition sense or you have to open it 
up and solder in a small 1/4w resistor sized Fuse on the command board.  All 
the info is on RBTIP, if you can't find what you need let me know and I can 
point you to it.

73,

Scott
