110W Motorola Race Radios to an intercom

[cs_drums]

I am getting one of the 110W Motorola Race Radios from tmcglx, I know many of you also are running these. Anyone have one set up with a intercom? I am interested in trying to set it up and wondering if any one has done it or if I take the time and money to figure it out would anybody else be interestee in buying and adapeter. Just feeling it out I dont have the radio or the intercom yet just food for thought.

None that I have seen, however there is a guy that builds a plug in for this... I myself am barely doing research on it.

I've thought & talked about it. Can't remember if it was Tony that told me or not, (I'm thinking not since he didn't say it here) but I remember hearing there is an intercom plug off another model motorola radio that will work. Maybe start there? A call to Darrin at autofab may also be a decent idea as he knows these radios

Im looking for the one guy I found that made a connection, will post up once I find... I know it is out there.

Awesome, I am not going to be able to do it right away thats why I figure if it wasnt available I could start tinkering now and figure it out someday...

[ChaseTruck754]

That has been my exact thought process on this!

I contacted BajaF250 and he is working with RacerX, something is already in the works. Now I just have to finish paying for the radio and save for the intercom!

What ever Bajaf250 comes up with .... I will need one as well.

[AussieRod]

Me too

[robertcrav]

Me three, need the intercom to coordinate mall parking...lol. But seriously

[Polarcub]

I would also be interested.

Jumping in on an old thread, but wanted to update... I was working with Mike at Racer-X to get his radio engineer to design an interface for the Motorola Maratrac and an intercom with the caveat that I wanted to have both the headset AND the hand mic and speaker work... switched is fine. After about a month, the engineer said he could not figure it out. So, I'm back to the drawing board. But, I'm not done... I may have an idea how to get to the end state... a functional intercom with the Maratrac, headset AND hand mic w/ external speaker. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

[Quailhunter]

Tom.... I sure could use that setup. Keep us posted.

Thanks

Thread link for sharing of information.

I've got a Rugged Radios intercom and am hoping the David Clark or other intercom adapter Willie mentions will work as my guess is the raceX one will cost more.

Guys,
Good news on the Maratrac/intercom front... Darin figured out how to integrate an AVCOMM intercom with the Motorola Maratrac radios we all use. We got it to work great... intercom integrated with the Radio... transmit and receive with the added plus, the external speaker works and the handset still works as well... all of my operational specifications and requirements... it's passed all of the feasibility and bench testing modes. Darin is now building a radio/intercom interface cable. It's fairly complex and once it's done, we'll put it to through operational testing in the BajaF250 to work out any potential bugs that we might have missed on the bench.

Sweet... MP3 interface as well?

[D1cker1]

Awesome

[crisis88]

Awesome!! Good work.

[BajaF250]

Sweet... MP3 interface as well?

That is purely contingent on the intercom box used... the AVCOMM AR510 PRO DESERT EXTREME INTERCOM
Key Features:
• Co-driver radio isolate switch so driver doesn't have to hear incoming radio traffic
• Interface to sat phone, cell phone, GPS, in-car cameras and XM radio
• Auto Volume switch with adjustment
• MUSIC IN can also be used for receive audio from another VHF/UHF radio
• RECORD OUT for media interface or in-car camera
• Individually shielded “twisted pair” RF resistant cables

There are many other models avail...

Yahoo!!!!
