Siren/PA Module for 5300 mobile radio

Post by azlooker »

Has anyone ever seen this module or have any experience with using a PA module? I'm more interested in the PA/ external radio functions than the siren mode. Thanks for any information.

I have installed a few. There's nothing special on the radio end, just another cable hanging out the back and a few programming options to be turned on in PCC. All the radio does is route audio down the extra cable, that audio then goes to a 3rd party PA/Siren kit.
If you need some info on it I can send it to ya.

That is pretty much what I gathered from the service manual after looking through it last night. I'm thinking I can use a external air horn device and activate it from the switch panel on the radio. What PA units have you seen used?

Mostly stuff from Federal and a couple makers I have never heard of before, nor can I remember their names...
