Cab1 remote crystal frequency
Posted by James Huff on Wednesday, September 13, 2023 9:05 AM

Is there a way to know what crystal is inside the cab1 remote? I understand that there are crystals that have different frequencies to enable two command control layouts that are close to each other to not interfere with each other. My cab 1 remote should arrive in the mail tomorrow finally! Also how do I pair the cab1 remote to the command 1 base, since I bought the cab1 remote, the command base 1 and pm powermaster 135/180 switch version separately?

27.255(CB Channel 23) is the default frequency. You can see the frequency on the crystal cradles that slide into the PowerMaster and Base, the matching channel 23 transmit crystal accessible in the CAB-1 battery compartment should be 26.800. The Command Base and all TMCC PowerMasters work on the same frequency by default and there is no pairing needed.
