Anyone have a manual for a
Low band Alert Monitor?

Model M01CNB

I have the manual for the
high band version, so can
probably figure out the low band
unit, but would like the real thing.


Thanks

Jack:

I may have one of these but won't be able to check for sure for about a week.? If you don't find one before then, let me know and I will check for you.

Hi David

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Been a
hectic week.

Any help greatly appreciated. Even just a schematic
will be helpful.

I think the high  band manual I have will cover
most of the radio, but the biggest question is
figuring out the RF front end, in order to bring
it up to 6 meters.

Thanks

Jack

Hello Group,

I acquired a Motorola low band FM transmitter and receiver, in separate chassis, connected together with with cabling. Got these from a Ham friend, about 40 yrs. ago. He had modified the units to six meters. These are too ancient to restore, but I am tempted to part them out.

I am after the possible model # and any documentation, so I can identify the power transformer(s) and various other components. I believe the interconnect cables are salvageable.

I have no idea if parts from these radios are collectible. I think the xmitter uses one 6146 for PA.

I guess any model numbers from that vintage would get me started.

Oh, BTW, I have a Motorola FM digest (Red Book), but this type is not listed!

Can anyone lead me in the right direction?


Regards,

Tim

The last two piece mobile radios made by Motorola were the Deluxe Line, as 
in FMTR-30D which had an FMR-13V receiver and one of several possible 
transmitters, all using dynamotors (unless AC base station configured) such 
as FMT-30D or FMT-25V.   But those use an 807 in the PA stage.

After that the only two piece sets were the motorcycle radios to 1958 and 
the Stan-Pac railroad radios, but the railroad radios were in a steel rack 
without cabling between the decks (there were sockets and built-in harnesses 
in the rack.)   The motorcycle sets were in black gloss boxes about 17 
inches long and used strips from the 5V, 41V or Twin-V mobiles.  If it's a 
motorcycle set, don't part it out, those are almost extinct today.  I still 
haven't found the a receiver box for the example in my "museum."

If it helps, you could check photos on my Motorola history page at:

Can you provide any more clues?

Are there any markings on the chassis, ink stamped, that start
with a TU or TA, or P? This unit is probably too early for
the TRB-xxxx and TTB-xxxx style numbers.

Tube lineup in receiver or transmitter?

Is the 6146 original, or was it a later modification? A lot of
the older low band units used an 807, and I've seen some that
were modified to take a 6146 instead. Not sure if Motorola
ever "officially" did that.

The same with the AC supply, is it a modification, or was it
factory built that way?

How big is it? Dimensions of the transmitter and receiver unit?

Possibility of a picture?

No matter what it is, I hope someone would endeavor to restore it
rather than part it out,

But............

I am in the process of putting together an AN/VRC-2, which is
a low band "coffin box" set built for the military. I have the
receiver on 29.6 and have the transmitter tuned up on 29.6, but
using signal generator instead of a crystal. I am going to try
to use one of the QRP Labs ProgRocks as a crystal substitute.

Biggest item I need to finish the set is a bottom plate.
I'm pretty sure the transmitter and receiver plates are the same.

The other issue I have is that I have a close to period
correct Motorola speaker, but it is square, and not round.

I have one.
Got it with an Alert Monitor on 29.6.

Let me find it, and I can scan at least the schematic and parts list for
you.

Message-ID: <432549405.377731.1552262447734@connect.xfinity.com>

Hello Group,

I took a look at the poor remains of the xmitr/Rec pair. 

The transmitter chassis is a [FMT - 50D ] Serial # 6961

The receiver is a [PA 824? ] Serial # 801D

Too bad the chassis have been exposed to the weather! The previous owner had fabricated wooden covers for both chassis. Not much left to save, except perhaps the transformers.

And, yes, the xmitter had been modified with 6146 PA tubes (2).

I did not realize that this type (Separate r / t ) came in 115 vac option. This transmitter is wired for 115vac, and uses two 3B25 rectifiers. I guess most of the radio set is going to be landfill........

I thank those of you that responded to my prior post.

Regards,

Tim AE7TH
