Does anyone have a mounting solution for the 5080?

Did you ever get a solution for mounting the 5080?

How did the 353 mounts work out???

:)

A little off subject but about batteries, I scored a nearly complete AN/PRC-47 including transit case, very few pieces are missing. I am wondering if anyone has info on the batteries, that and the backpack frames and a couple other small pieces are all I need to make a complete set. And the...

Not likely, there is enough solid state stuff in just about any modern radio to make it susceptible to an EMP event. I have two IC-706MKIIG radios wrapped in tin foil placed in ammo cans with steel mesh around the gasket surface, placed inside a gun safe. That radio covers just about any...

It is strange how the 5080 is treated like a step child, it was not even given the VRC designation and I see no reference in any Clansman documentation.

This is some of the information passed on to me on my VRM5080 group, I have two comprehensive manual (I hope, over 800 pages) coming from England. "The ATU connector pinout is A CLOCK B SILENT C 24V ATU D FMD (Frequency / Mode Data) E 0V F PTT3 G FE (I think this is a word sync for the serial...

Also if anyone knows where the mounting bases can be found, I need two. I am considering just bolting the case to the radio shelf, all solid state shock mounts should not be needed, certainly would make it difficult to steal.

I don't know, the example had a serial number of 4, might be rather rare.

I don't think the ARFAT is necessary with the 5080. If you have some documentation that says otherwise I would love to have it as information on the TUAAM is hard to come by.

HUH, too bad they are not available..

What does it adapt to? Never heard of a VID

Do you have the basic "technical" manual, I use that word lightly as it is only a basic operation manual. I have a couple manuals coming, over 800 pages total, hopefully there will be some useful information in there.

If you want to run an external speaker, you will need one that is amplified and has a volume control (pot) the radio only has a three step volume control, not a pot

On mine the bottom pin is hot, the top is connected to ground so you can ohm it out. EDIT, to confirm.

I read there are kits from the UK to make LSB available, I would think changing the filter like on my PCR-47 might be possible but am not familiar with the 320

All this got me looking around and I picked up 3, BCC-543 AATUs for about $150 shipped! I am having some trouble finding a manual but there is enough information out there to build the control cable.

I am pretty sure I got them from TDM electronics in Poland, I see they have some on Fleabay. But the shipping at the time, less than 2 years ago was only about $120ea. (two at a time) and they were cheaper so they were under $300 ea. shipped, I am thinking about $275 ea. Dang inflation!

I have several VRM-5080 radios, they are much superior to the US stuff of the same era , they are compatible with the US gear but can also do narrow (+-5kc) so they can be used as is on 6M ham, there is a way to disable the tone that is transmitted along with voice. They can be programmed +- 1kc...
