Subject: [Motorola] Questions re NKN-6099A Adapter Cable
Message-ID: <55104496.6010609@att.net>

This is the adapter cable for tuning up a PT-400 on a
Motorola test set.

First, does anyone have one they'd like to sell?

Second, anyone have the sheet on the cable, with schematic?
     It will not be hard to figure it out, but would like a copy
     of the "official" document for the files.

Third, if I can't locate the official document,  did the test set end of 
the cable terminate in the 20 pin rectangular connector, or an 11 pin 
"octal style" connector?

Also, looking for any PT-400 stuff, parts units, power packs, etc.

Thanks

Jack:

I can help with the cable documentation. ?I'll dig it out when I get home tonight. ?I may have some other PT 400 stuff as well -- I'll look.

Shows where my Motorola education ends, didn't know there were
other flavors of PT400.

Radio in question is HT-200 vintage, a P43DEN-1190.

The NKN6099A adapter cable connects a PT400 "Lunchbox" radio to the S1059A
Test Set.  It has a DE-9 connector on one end, and a 20-pin connector on the
other end.  Some info is available here:

There is only one version of PT 400.

The smaller pack set was PT 300, and PT 200 if the RF PA was not used.  They 
all use the same receiver as the HT 200 Handie Talkie.

The one using MX modules is the PX 300 and PX 300S and is vastly newer and 
different than a PT 400.  The PX 300 uses a PT 400 battery box and 
accessories.

It's been decades but there was originally a metering cable I used on PT 
400's that had an 11 pin female "octal" style socket on one end to mate with 
a conventional test set cable, and the other the DB connector for the PT400. 
The only thing you really need the metering cable for would be the RF PA. 
PT 300's have no metering sockets and you tune those up with a VTVM.

There was also a motorcycle model which used the same boards as the PTs. It
was mounted in a insulated case with the same positive grounded boards. It's
RF connector was DC isolated to allow a body mounted antenna as I recall.

The motorcycle radio was the Solid State Dispatcher.  Such numbers as 
T43DEN-3100.   I hated them. They were miserable to service and all the 
screws and nuts were daubed with a thick brown glypt cement.  The wiring was 
all Teflon insulated and placed such that it was easy to get it pinched and 
make a short.

That platform was also used to make the Airport Dispatcher and a peculiar 
radio called the Multi-XFL, which doesn't appear in any sales catalogs of 
the time that I have, nor in the master index of service manual numbers 
(shown on my website.)  .  There were also fire lookout radios using the HT 
200 and PT 300 boards.

Seeing as how the list is getting some activity,  I am still looking for the 
following manuals, copies OK and expenses reimbursed, scans, whatever:

TEK 23    Power Supply
TEK  42   Scan Tester
TEK  47   Pulse Generator

I am also looking for the top section of the housing for a long case Motrac 
or Motran mobile.  Not the regular Motrac top cover, but the one 15 inches 
long for the models that have extra frequency decks or options added, making 
them longer than the standard model.  Just the top, I have the bottom piece.

The others might have had another PT number.
I have seen HT200, MX300 and I think a HT50 or similar in PT format.
I have a HT200 if you can use it for the transmit and receive boards.
These had a problem with the brown colored capacitors used in the 
tuned circuits.
Replace them with the Erie Red Caps and they seemed to work again.
A lot of trouble to remove the coil shields to replace the caps under 
the shields, even with good vacuum desoldering tools.
You can change the split of the radio by replacing the caps around the coils.
