1. Applicability
This manual describes how to configure and use Cobham C-5000 Communication Management
Controllers with part numbers in the 31300-1X02-XXXX series (where X can be any digit), and the civil
support software configuration. Although this manual is largely applicable to previous software versions,
some recently added features may not be available, and minor operational changes in previo usly
available features may exist.

Glossary
AM – Acronym for “Amplitude Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the amplitude of the signal is varied
in proportion to the voice or data input signal. The signal quality can be severely degraded because of
lightning or man made electrical noise. AM is only used in the frequency ranges 108 to 152 MHz and 225
to 400 MHz. All air traffic control functions use AM modulation.
Audio Phase – The RT-5000 can invert the phase of the audio signal during transmit or receive. This is
sometimes necessary for DPL sy st ems to work.
Bandwidth – A term used to describe the amount of frequency a channel has to transmit a signal. Two of
the most common FM channel bandwidths are 12.5 kHz (Narrow) and 25 kHz (Standard). Some special
signals, such as military encryption, work best when using 35 kHz (Wide) or 70 kHz (Extra-wide)
channels. All of these bandwidths are available in the RT-5000.
Channel – A group of radio characteristics, such as RX & TX frequencies, modulation, powe r levels, etc.
CMC – An acronym for Communication Management Controller. The C-5000 is a CMC.
CTCSS – Acronym for “Continuous Coded Squelch System”.
DCS – Acronym for “Digital Coded Squelch”
DES – Acronym for “Digital Encryption Standard”. This is an algorithm by which signals are encrypted.
Deviation – The amount of peak change the RF signal varies from the carrier in proportion to the
amplitude of the voice signal.
DPL – Acronym for “Digital Private Line”. Also known as DCS.
DTMF – Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. On a telephone keypad, each row and column have unique audio
tones that are sent when a button is pushed. At the receiver, a decoder listens for a row tone and a
column tone and can determine from that, which button has been pushed.
Direct – Also known as simplex, car-to-car, and talk-around. This mode of operation allows you to bypass
the repeater and talk directly to another radio. TX and RX frequencies are the same.
Encryption – Method by which a signal is “scrambled” so that other listeners without the proper
encryption key cannot understand what is being transmitted.
Encryption Key – When encrypting a transmission, the algorithm used to scramble the information
requires both the transmitting and receiving devices to have a number. This number is called an
Encryption Key. Some systems are limited to one key and others are capable of having multiple keys.

Flexcomm II – Second generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This include s the C5000 control head and RT-5000 multi-band transceiver.
FM – Acronym for “Frequency Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the signal is varied
from its center point in proportion to the amplitude of the voice or data signal. Most importantly, this type
of modulation is not affected by lightning or other atmospheric noise.
Guard Receiver – Second receiver added to the transceiver to monitor a specific frequency. Some
common “guard” frequencies are 121.5, 243, Marine channel 16, and Marine ch annel 70. However, this
optional function can also be used to monitor a dispatch channel, or an important tactical frequency.
Some Guard receivers have a single frequency that is set in hardware Other options, available only in
the RT-5000, are a programmable dual channel receiver and a multi-band P25/Trunking compatible unit.
IF Injection – In a superhetrodyne receiver, high frequency signals are progressively lowered in
frequency until only the audio is left. This is done by multiplying the RF Signal by a sinewave either above
or below the RF carrier. Mathematically this results in an “Intermediate Frequency” (IF) that is the sum
and difference of the two signals The RT-5000 has the capability of having either High (Above) or Low
(Below) the signal frequency What this means is if you have a signal interfering with the desired signal.
Sometimes the interference can be eliminated by switching either the 2
Interoperability – The ability for different radio systems to communicate with each other directly. For
example, when one manufacturer’s radio products will communicate with anoth er’s, they are said to be
“Interoperable”.
ITM – “Internal Transceiver Module”. This is the module that is physically placed in the Guard Receiver
slot in the RT-5000. This is the part of the radio that can perform P-25, encryption, and Motorola
Trunking. Each ITM covers a specific frequency band: 136-174, 380-470, 450-520, 764-870, and 806–
870 MHz. Up to two ITM’s can be put into one RT-5000 however one must be below 380 MHz and one
above 380 MHz.
KEYMAT – Another name for an encryption key.
KVL – Acronym for Key Variable Loader. It is a Motorola product for loading encryption keys into an
encryption capable radio.
Main Receiver – Full function receiver located in every transceiver.
Manual Channel – A special preset channel that allows the operator to manipulate channel information
without going into programming mode. On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located
at channel 0.
MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a
main and guard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only
one receiver, the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is
monitored.
MODE 2 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the main and guard receiver are both
monitoring frequencies at the same time. The user interface is more complex in that the user must select
using the silver “soft” buttons on the C-5000 which determine which channel to display and transmit on.

OTAR – Acro
radio channel, hence “over the air”.
P-25 – Digital Modulation Standard.
Page – The contents of the display, sometimes called a screen or view.
PL – Acronym for “Private Line”, also known as CTCSS or sub-audible tone.
Preset Channel – A channel that has been programmed into the memory of a control head or
transceiver.
Private – Another name for encryption.
Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another
radio. TX and RX frequencies are different.
RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Cobham’s software to program the C-5000 with channel
information via a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that
this method is used whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is
available for emergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically
provides for memory backup in case of control head failure.
CPS – Acronym for “Customer Programming Software”. A Motorola PC application used for configuring,
uploading, and downloading information into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.
RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a single
transceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be grouped together and controlled as
one radio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.
RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”
Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.
Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal by the radio and audio
is allowed to go to the user.
Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.
Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available
channel to the operator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more
conversations are going on than channels available. There are many different Trunking systems
available. Most are proprietary to each manufacturer. In other words, systems built by different radio
manufacturers will NOT communicate with each other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guaran t ees
interoperability.
TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.

3. Introduction
The Cobham C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control
head device that controls one or two Cobham transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of Cobham
FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct
the user on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C5000 apart from any other communication device.
A. Features
The C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including
(1) Controls Cobham RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT 7200 transceivers.
(2) 700 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Cobham’s Remote
Programmer software.
Note:
(3) Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.

(4) Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.
(5) Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as APCO P25
compliant digital voice and encryption with Over the Air Re-key (OTAR) capability.
Note:
B. Transceiver Overview
The C-50
transceivers. It is very important that users know the number and type of transceivers connected to
the C-5000, since different transceivers have very different capabilities and features. Here is a
summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities:
1. FLEXCOMM II
This product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceiver, which covers the 29.7 to 960 MHz
frequency range. The optional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard
(available in three frequency ranges), a tunable multi-channel guard (29.7 – 960 MHz), or a multiband digital-capable guard (available in four frequency ranges). RT-5000’s are equipped with
CTCSS and CS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers. The MTM (digital-capable) Guard
variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-airre-key (OTAR) capability.
Software versions 10 and below are only capable of 350 preset channels.
One manual channel available per RT system.
Applicable to units with Motorola ITMs installed (-06xx or greater).
00 provides support for the Cobham FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II
2. FLEXCOMM I
This product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000
also supports the RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but
remain in wide use. The RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99
MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to 511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These
transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that operates
on a customer specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSS decoder with programmable
Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.

3. FLITECOMM
This product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200,
RT- 9600, and RT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled,
Guard Receiver that could be user-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950
MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and 173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F). They were equipped with
CTCSS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.
C. Steps to Successful Setup and Operation
IMPORTANT!!! CPS PROGRAMING NOTES:
ZONE 1 – CHANNEL 1 MUST BE ASSIGNED TO CONVENTIONAL (CNV) PERSONALITY 1, MUST
USE DIFFERENT RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES, AND HAVE “DIR/TALKAROUND
ENABLED”.
ZONES MUST BE SET FOR A MAXIMUM OF 16 CHANNELS PER ZONE, EXCEPT WHEN
UTILIZING SINGLE ZONE SETTINGS.
DO NOT ENABLE SCAN ON ANY PERSONALITY.
DO NOT CHANGE MENU OR DISPLAY OPTIONS. USE FACTORY SETTINGS ONLY.
WHEN MIXING DIRECT AND NONDIRECT CHANNELS WITHIN A ZONE, CHANNEL 1 OF THAT
ZONE MUST BE ASSIGNED TO CONVENTIONAL (CNV) PERSONALITY 1, MUST BE A DUPLEX
FREQUENCY, AND MUST HAVE “DIR/TALKAROUND” ENABLED.
The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 and RT-5000.
(1) Connect the C-5000 to the transceivers. Note part numbers of the Control Head and all
transceivers.
C-5000 Part Number = 31300-1X02- ____________
Radio #1 Model # = _________________ Part Number = __________ __________
Radio #2 Model # = _________________ Part Number = __________ __________
(2) Configure the C-5000 using the steps outlined in section 5 of this manual. You must know
the last four digits of the C-5000 part number and the last four digits of any RT-5000’s or the
model type of any Flexcomm/Flitecomm Transceiver.
Note:
Use Appendix D to find alternative RT-5000 part numbers to enter.
(3) If Radio #1 is an RT-5000 that has a MTM Guard Receiver (-06XX or greater) connect a PC
to the 9-pin programming port of the RT-5000 and run the Motorola CPS software.
(4) Put the C-5000 in CPS mode for radio #1 and select the first ITM (Internal Transceiver
Module) to appear.
Your C-5000 software may not be updated to include all versions of RT-5000’s.

Using the CPS software, read the codeplug out of the ITM. Save this first as a back-up in
case you need to return to the factory setting.
(6) Modify system settings for your application. Program the personalities and assign
Zone/Channels. It is important to use good channel identifiers so CPS operators can
efficiently determine the purpose of the channel. Whenever possible, use the same channel
names as used by the ground personnel to avoid using the wrong preset.
Note:
(7) Save the modified codeplug to the hard drive and load it into the ITM.
(8) Do the above for the second ITM if there is one in Radio #1.
(9) Do the above for Radio #2 only if it’s an RT-5000 with an MTM Guard (-06XX or greater).
(10) Using the front panel, or better yet the Cobham RpWin software, program all preset channels
(11) Using a communication analyzer or over the air test, verify that each radio and channel

This section covers the radio setup sub-menu pages. Refer to the section o n co nfiguring the C-5000
for details on how to reach these menu pages. This section assumes the C-5000 part number you
entered indicated an RT-5000 was present for Radio #1. We pick up at the following display page.

the MODE button to display the next menu page.
: If the RT-5000 part number you enter is rejected, and you are sure you are entering a
Note
valid part number, it is likely your flavor of RT-5000 was created after the C-5000
software was released. Since the C-5000 software has no knowledge of this part
number, it will reject it. Until your C-5000 software gets updated, you may enter an
“equivalent” part number. Refer to Appendix D for a complete list.

F. Configuring the C-5000 Using a PC
FLEXCOMM II
C-5000 (P-25 Capable)
Operator’s Manual
ham highly recommends using the PC based Remote Programmer (RP) software to specify the
Cob
C-5000’s configuration. The Remote Programmer software offers several advantages over using
theC-5000’s front panel which includes:
(1) Allowing you to specify a C-5000’s configuration in less time.
(2) Enhanced error checking reduces the likelihood of specifying an incorrect config uration.
(3) A configuration can be specified once and loaded to multiple C-5000’s, saving huge amounts
of data entry time.
(4) Configurations can be saved, archived, and backed-up, reducing the likelihood of lost data.
(5) Configurations can be uploaded from the C-5000’s as well, saving data entry time on existing
configurations.
Refer to the Remote Programmer software’s user manual 150-041374 for details on how to specify C5000 configurations in RpWin.
G. Downloading a Configuration from RP into the C-5000
The C-50
to do is initiate the download from RpWin. Refer to RpWin’s user manual for details on how to initiate
a download. Once the communication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the
following:
