TechnicianJack Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hello, I have just purchased a Pye FM914PM radio, and I was wondering if anyone here has any information about them? I was told that it had been removed from a Snatch Land Rover, and its internals are effectively identical to a FM1000 radio. Does anyone know how to power it up? It only has military style connectors on it, so I assume it is meant to receive power through a vehicle harness or battery box? I have appropriate Clansman audio gear to connect to test it with once it's powered on! My set includes a small box with a red screen and buttons, which I believe is the radio, and a large black rectangular box, which I think is the amplifier. Both are held together with a mounting plate. After some research, it would appear that it is part of the MOULD system, but I can't find any set up instructions. Can anyone help? Thanks, Jack.

g0ozs Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Jack There is a bit more info at http://www.pyetelecomhistory.org/prodhist/mobiles/mobiles.html#FM900_Series_1983 - the FM1000 is the next generation. They have an EPROM with the channel programming data rather than a microprocessor so you will probably need a prehistoric EPROM programmer to shift them onto a useful frequency. There is an FM900 yahoo group I believe that has manuals for the civil versions - see: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FM900/conversations/topics/6770 Regards Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
