Uniden Bearcat 880 an wireless bc906w

#397047

Post by nosaj »

I have a bearcat 880 with the wireless mic bc906w. The mic cradle does not light up
So following the mic wiring guide for the 880
Pin1 modulation
Pin2 RX
Pin3 TX
Pin4 Audio from recieve
Pin5 shield
Pin6 8vdc

Pin 6 I have 2vdc.
Is there a schematic anywhere for this radio, I have looked at the bigger chips but cannot find a 8v regulator which I'm thinking is the issue.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
nosaj

Good question,, think I answered this on another post. Uniden emailed me yrs ago that they weren't issuing schematics or service manuals for their new radios.
Its sounds like pin 6 is just showing trace voltage in receive mode and when keyed it will show the full 8vdc. Check and make sure the Bluetooth on the radio is on. Might have to check the cradle on another similar radio.

It's not a bluetooth cradle. Its the DETC 6.0 1900mhz I think.
May have to rewire a another mic for it to try. But I'm thinking it's destined for the round filecabinet.

Interesting, I was curious so I found a YouTube, the cradle is just the TX/RX controller, it has no port for charging the mic itself, that is done by a mini jack car charger. When hooked up does the cradle led blink at all? Before you toss it, it might be worth dissecting to see if it can be used on a different radio.

No cradle doesn't blink at all, I may try a 4 pin conversion on it and see if it's working. But I meant tossing the bearcat if a normal mic doesn't work on it.
