In many environments the user might hang up the mic on the holder.

In my case, I have a plastic dash board so the mic gets hung up as shown to the right. The easiest way I've found to do this to is stick something small and metal like a paper clip or a mic hanger clip in the back of the mic between the metal plate and the hook itself. If the mic is not "on hook" and the scan button is pressed, the display will flash between the current channel and the scan mode. An alternative way which may be simpler, depending the microphone, is to "ground" the metal ring sticking out of the back of the mic.

How this is accomplished, is up to the operator. In the above case, the contact wire is not soldered. This was my first attempt. Later I soldered it, inserted it firmly into the notch and it held without falling out. This is shown below. It is also possible to put a drop of superglue on either side of the soldered wire to help hold the wire in place.

I prefer a drop rather than smothering the whole wire with glue, in case the wire needs to be removed at some point. If your display looks like this, the radio is NOT scanning! The unit will NOT scan without the microphone being "on hook". The radio has 4 different scan modes indicated by dashes next to the labels on the right of the display. If your display is changing between the scan display and the channel number, the radio is "off hook" and not currently scanning.

Scan The channels in this list are set using the Motorola service software. There is no other way to change the frequencies in this list. Priority Scan Same as scan, but the priority channels are checked more often than the regular channels.

User Scan The scan list for this mode is set from the front panel of the radio. Priority User Scan Same as user scan, but it also checks the 2 priority channels more often than the user selected channels. Using the [Up] or [Down] buttons, select the channel you wish to add or remove from the user scan list. As always, there are multiple methods of interfacing to MaxTracs, but by far the hardest unit to use is the one with the 5-pin accessory jack.

Here's a fairly painless way to get the desired signal out of such a radio. Step-by-step instructions are provided so even a technician who's unfamiliar with the radio can make it work.

Three extra components give you the same functionality on 5-pin logic boards. Scott duplicated the circuitry from a pin radio and added it to his 5-pin radio to get flat audio out of it.
