Motorola Cdm1250 Programming Software

by

3d modeli balyasin 2. Jan 30, 2010  I'm having trouble programing my CDM1250. I purchased a RIBless programing cable (Model29-USB) from PolarisUSA. Not sure why the device shows up under device manager but the Motorola software can't read the radio. I've installed this on several computers and can't get it to work. I uninstalled the programming software and reinstalled it.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software: Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules.

Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity. If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so.

We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request. To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software.

Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it. For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this. Effective immediately we will be deleting, without notice, any negative threads or posts that deal with the use of encryption and streaming of scanner audio.

We've noticed a huge increase in rants and negative posts that revolve around agencies going to encryption due to the broadcasting of scanner audio on the internet. It's now worn out and continues to be the same recycled rants. These rants hijack the threads and derail the conversation. They no longer have a place anywhere on this forum other than in the designated threads in the Rants forum in the Tavern. If you are found to violate this announcement you post will be deleted without notice and an infraction will be issued. We are not against discussion of this issue. You just need to do it in the right place.

For example: • • •. I'm having trouble programing my CDM1250. I purchased a RIBless programing cable (Model29-USB) from PolarisUSA. I downloaded and installed the drivers from PolarisUSA's website and then connected the cable to my computer (Toughbook CF-29). I went into Device Manager and COM5 shows up as the programing cable (Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port).

When I open the Motorla CPS software and try to Read Device (with COM5), I receive the error message: 'Couldn't open port. Check whether Device/RIB are powered or not, and then Device to RIB, and the RIB to PC connection is OK'.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times, and still have the same error message. I'm flustered and can not figure out why the cable will not read the radio. I've contacted PolarisUSA who directed me to reinstall the driver, and still had the same problem.

Should I just buy a RIB box and RIB programing cable?
