C-5000

RT #1

RT #2

A C-5000 can control 2 RT’s (Receiver Transmitters).

Each RT has a MAIN receiver and transmitter and

possible digital ITM (Internal Transceiver Module).

IMPORTANT: OPERATORS MUST KNOW THE

FREQUENCY RANGE EACH RT TUNES.

The P-25 capable C-5000 can also control analog units

with or without synthesized guard. The Primary and

Secondary mic inputs allow two users to talk on different

RT’s at the same time.

All C-5000’s have memory for 350 preset channels, while

units with SW 11 (also known as Civil Support units) or

higher can hold 700. Channel information can be preset

using the RpWin software, or by programming through

the front panel. Each RT has a Manual channel (M) at

channel 0 location that allows the operator to manually

enter a transmit and receive frequency.

Soft Key Buttons

are used when

prompted for

display dimming or

special modes.

Basic System Checks

RECEIVE TEST

Reverse video will surround the system number, while

the receive frequency will be displayed followed by an

“R”. A squelch noise or received communication

means the receiver portion of the radio is working.

TRANSMIT TEST

Engage the aircraft transmit push-to-talk switch to

activate the mic key. The transmit indicator, also

known as a carrot or arrow, will be solid when RF

energy is leaving the radio. The transmit frequency

will be displayed, followed by a “T”. If the TX

indicator is hollow, only the mic key input is

functioning, and the radio is not transmitting.

Press to verify the radio is active.

Subaudible Tones

Sometimes a special signal is added to your voice

transmissions in order to distinguish your radio’s

signal form someone else. This is called a subaudible

tone. If a tone is needed by the other people to hear

your transmission, you MUST use a transmit tone.

Alternatively, you have the option of turning your

receiver tones off which will allow you to hear anyone

on that channel.

Tones “OFF” disables tones.

The operator will not hear a

transmission that utilizes any

type of tone codes.

CTCSS Tone “ON” enables

CTCSS Tones. The Transmit

and Receive frequency each

have their own assignable tone.

DCS tones are digital tones and

are identified with three digits,

including 0.
