EFJ 5300 series RIB

Post by mancow »

What is needed to program a 5300 series mobile, hardware wise?

Are there any rib and cable schematics available that I could take a look at?

according to the PDF file that came with the PCConfigure software, you need the 023-5300-000 RPI. It says that none of the others will work (such as the 9800 or 9750.)
The kit with everything is 250-5000-004. The cable is 250-5300-005.

(The manual is 2 megs)

The EF Johnson RIB has a small box that a 9 pin serial cable plugs into and on the other side is a flat ribbon cable with a plug that goes to the mic connector on the 5300 mobile.

Works great, just be careful that you don't break the mic connector on the ribbon cable. It is rather different and will be hard to replace.
