GME TX4000 service manual?

[Sprint]

does anyone know where i'd be able to find one online? i've got a copy of the owners manual, but it doesnt tell me what i'd like to know

I've spoken to the tech Department GME Electrophone in Gladesville, the service Manual is 16MB and they will release a copy of it but they can't email it due to it's size. I've got the same UHF CB , so If you can wait a bit I can get a Copy of the File and Send it to you ......

no dramas, tho it *could* be uploaded on something like megaupload/rapidshare

[Disco_owner]

There is something I didn't think of , I'll investigate the Megaupload / Rapidshare , when I get the File . Is there any part of the Manual you're interested in specifically , I may even be able to Email it to you...

i havent had a look through it, so i'm not too sure which bits i'd need

probably best to upload it whole, thankyou!

I thought I had it on my website - but it's the user manual.

I haven't had a chance to get down to GME head office pick up the service manual. :(

bugger, im having dramas with mine atm and im not too sure wether its the microphone or the unit itself..... and naturally i dont have either a spare microphone or the pinouts of the mic/plug to do some troubleshooting

The microphone is just the standard GME phone plug style thing isn't it?

You can't just borrow a mates and try it?

Alternatively there are only 6 wires. Pull it apart and find out.

When mine broke (original TX4400) it was just the plastic between the pins on the plug was bent over a little from when I was a little rough unplugging it.

its a variation on a 5 pin DIN plug, same layout as a Uniden UH015 but not too sure wether the pin configuration is the same

sadly, nobody i know of still runs anything as ancient as a TX4000 (waaaaay older than your TX4400, my TX4000 has service stickers dating from 1994 in it!) so finding someone with a mic i can borrow is a bit hard.....

all i know is i can get the unit to tx without any sound by bridging 2 of the pins

[Utemad]

I know the TX4000 is old. I bought my TX4400 when they first came out. That is about 2002. Then the TX4200 was before that of course so yours is bloody old as you say.
Still I thought they had the RJ11 plug.

If you can get it to transmit by bridging two pins (will it do it by using the PTT button?) but it doesn't actually transmit then my bet is the microphone component itself. Try Jaycar or a reseller for another one.

I've got a GME microphone here from an AM set with a ch8 button where the selcall button is. It has a 5 pin female plug like a 5 pin DIN plug. Would be of the same era. No idea if it works though but I'll take it apart and have a look later.

yea, ive got a TX835 AM set as well, microphone plug is a different layout

I thought they had a 6-pin plug.
