VRC-64 help needed

[Steamynachos]

Can a RT-524 be hooked up to a am-2060 and the Vic-1 all at the same time? All I can find is that the Am-2060 powers the Vic-1 but can the RT-524 also be used in the power circuit through the Mt-1029 tray? so you can receive from both radios at the same time and transmit on one or the other? the reason I ask as I would like to mount the RT-524 beside my Am2060 with an Prc-77 on it and have the ability to use them both on the Vic-1 system at the same time. Sorry if this seems confusing I know I am confused what would this setup be known as ?

Yes. No problem to do what you are asking. You will be able to select either radio from the control boxes.

Can't he just use 2 MT1029 trays? One for AM2060 and one for the RT524?

 

[Steamynachos]

the AM-2060 and the RT-524 both need a MT-1029 tray to work but can I run one wire from the battery to the 524's tray then a power wire from it to the am2060's tray then a wirefrom that one to the Vic-1 all in a daisy chain? and have them all work together or is this to much power though the trays? and how does the audio cable connect or are they the same cables?

Yes, you can daisy chain the Mt1029's and then to the "master VIC 1 box" no problem.... They were designed to do that. Can thelp you with the rest of the ausio stuff though..

Cable CX-4723 carries power and audio. TM11-5820-498-12 is a good reference here.

I have looked everywhere for that TM but I can't find it do you have it on PDF or load it into the manual section that would help slot thanks guys

I want to make sure I'm reading this correct just for clarification since I am looking at putting 2 radios and an aux into my 1009 in the future.

The intent here is to go:

power - cable - MT-1029 - cable - MT-1029 - cable - AM1780 - cable - C2298
w/RT-524 w/AM-2060
w/RT841

 

[Steamynachos]

That's the way I want it to go but I am trying to figure out what I need to do all this I have a duel setup ant. already

 

[cranetruck]

I don't have the TMs in pdf format....
Here are a couple of diagrams that may help.

As I recall, when you use a VIC-1 system, don't you have to remove the cover on theback of the MT1029 and switch a wire around?
