P7100 w/ Remote EVC Problem

Post by medic2078 »

I am trying to use a remote control head with a Ma/Com Enhanced Vehicular Charger, but it is not working. Looking for any tips or tricks for this setup. The following is what I have:
-Ma/Com P7100ip 800MHz portable
-EVC (BML 16167/32, but with the charging sleeve for the P7100 installed)
-Remote control cable (RPM1132864/2) from New London Tech.
-Power cable (19B801358P2)
-Orion System head (KRY1011632/14)

The DIP switches on the EVC are set as follows: 1=off, 2=on, 3=off, 4=off, 5=off, 6=on, 7=on, 8=off. According to the manual, this should be the proper configuration.

With all components hooked up and connected to regulated power supply, I get nothing. The charge indicator light does not light, the remote control head does not power up, etc.

I know the EVC works, because if I change the EVC back to the LPE200 sleeve, the charger indicator light works and the speaker operates correctly. But with the P7100, I get nothing.

Is there anything that needs to be set in the radio programming before the remote head setup will work? Also, there is the second 25pin computer connector on the remote head.
Although the manual says nothing about attaching a cable to it, do I need to put something there?

Problem Resolved!

I must have had a loose connection somewhere. After much frustration, I ripped the whole setup apart and then re-connected it. Remote head is working fine now.
