GE Royal Executive Radio

Post by gpd132 »

Hi, I'm new to the forum and hope i'm posting in the right section. I have an old GE Royal Executive public safety car radio. Got it pretty cheap off ebay. I'm needing to find out how to connect it to see if it works. I will assume that the thick red wire goes to a power supply and the brown thick wire goes to a ground. The large plug plugs into the base from the control head. However, several of the tiny plugs going to the control head are unplugged and I have no idea where they go. There are also several other wires coming out of the control head and I have no idea where they go to either. 3 are bent and taped off so i will assume they were not needed when the radio was in use. I have pics of the radio on my photobucket page and have a link below. Thanks for any help you may have.
Mike....

What you have is a MASTR EXECUTIVE II VHF drawer with a Royal Exec. control head, at least going by the combination number. Your radio will work with the Royal control head, you just need a diagram of where all those wires go. Take a look here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/prod ... obiles.pdf for a manual that will tell you what other manuals you need to get it working. You will also need to look here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/prod ... obiles.pdf to find out which manual you need to find to get the pin out of your control head. You may notice that the LBI's linked to are copywrited 1977, so this is fairly old equipment. It does do well in ham service for single channel or closely spaced multi-channel operation if you don't mind paying close to $100/per channel for the ICOMs (Intergrated Crystal Oscillator Modules) to be rebuilt. If you are planning on Part 90 operation, this equipment will be useless in 2013 due to narrowbanding of VHF.

Have fun!
