Making and error and accidentally causing interference to other radio systems can get you in some trouble. Many people figure out the programming software on their own, however you need to be VERY careful if you haven't done it before. It isn't impossible to do yourself, but it isn't necessarily cheap or easy for the first timer. If you are just going to program this radio once, you may want to consider having a radio shop do it.

A 'real' Motorola cable can be $100 or more. After market cables (these can be a real crap-shoot) can run for $30 or so on up. (Radio Interface Box) to work.Ī legal copy of the software is going to run you upwards of $300. Programming cables vary, and you can use USB cables that directly interface between the PC and radio, or you can use the older Motorola style that need a R.I.B. You also need a programming cable to interface the radio to your PC. To program a Motorola CDM model radio, you need the Professional CPS software that is available from Motorola.

The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
