XTR1 Programmer and Ordering Information
Parts Overlay PDF File |
The XTR1 is an affordable alternative for programming Midland XTR and Syntech II mobiles. The circuit design is an electrical equivalent of the 70-1308A programmer with the added enhancement of a power LED that indicates a good power connection to the radio being programmed. It is offered assembled and tested or as a kit. The circuit board is high quality, double-sided, and has plated-through holes. All parts are included in the kit and assembly usually requires less than 30 minutes.
See our Radio Identification Page if you are not sure what programmer your radio requires.
Midland made the 70-1309A programming cable for the Bantam/Titan series . Our adaptor cable is designed to work with the XTR1 and eliminates the need for another programming cable which means reduced cost for you. Please refer to our Bantam and Titan pages for more information about these radios.
The Bantam/Titan adaptor cable connects to the XTR programmer through a DB9 connector. This requires the 10 pin ribbon cable to be cut about 6 to 8 inches from the end and DB9 connectors attached to the severed cable at this point. GCC offers a optional IDC to DB9 compression connector kit that requires no soldering and reduces the chances of a wiring error.
Bantom/Titan Cable
The XTR1 kit takes less than 30 minutes to assemble. Because of the small circuit traces, good soldering skills are required.
The XTR1 plugs into your PC's 9 pin serial port and the connection cable is 30 inches long. The board has a power LED to indicate connection of the cable to the radio and the XTR1 draws it's power from the radio, not the serial port.
Software is not included and we do not sell it or provide information on where to get it. Please check our information page for links to other websites of interest to Midland radio owners. GCC is not responsible for the content of these other websites and offers those links for informational purposes only.

Because the demand for assembled boards has greatly increased, I now try to maintain a small inventory of them. If your order is going to be delayed more than the next shipping day, I will notify you via email when to expect shipment. The day your board is mailed you will receive an email notification that it was sent if a good email address is provided.
Adaptor Interface Kit - sold only with purchase of XTR Programmer or Adaptor Cables
NOTE: All adaptor cables require an XTR1 or other compatible programmer.
DB9M/F-IDC Connector Kit requires the ribbon cable be cut about 6 to 8 inches from the 10 pin IDC radio connector and the DB9 Male and Female connectors squeezed onto the cable. Wire #10 of the ribbon cable is cut off where the cable enters the DB9 connectors. This is an unused wire. Refer to the cable modification page for more information regarding installation.
