Motorola Cdm1250 Programming Software

  • 13 Comments!

FBK: Motorola is VERY protective of their copyrighted programming software. When a legitimate copy is sold or transferred they do demand a licensing fee. They even monitor places like eBay and Craig's List as well as places like qth.com and QRZ.com for people selling both legitimate and bootlegged copies. When Motorola comes across a bootleg copy they can get absolutely nasty!

The programming software alone is going to be $300+. Programming a Motorola CDM1550 w/Professional CPS software. Note: This document is not designed to be the be-all-end-all of how-to's on programming a motorola CDM1550 with.

The cheapest method for getting a single radio programmed will be to get with a two-way radio shop which has a licensed copy of the software and get them to do the programming.

General Information All these radios are from the same line (Waris Series). Some are export versions, others are domestic. As far as we know, there appears to be a few different versions of RSS to program them. Apparently, up until recently there was different software for the Latin American product, the North American Product, and the European.

We were told that the newest versions of CPS (HVN9025G) for these radios now supports the Latin American and the North American radios with the same software. This apparently is not the case.

It looks like the Latin America PRO radios still use their own RSS. We know for sure that the HT750/1250/1550 and CDM750/CDM1250/1550 use RSS part number HVN9025. The GP320/340/360/380 use their own RSS.

There are MPT versions of the GP340 and GP380, called the GP640 and GP680 respectively. There is also a MPT version of the HT1550 called the GP1280. Just for reference, the following is a list of domestic radios and their equivalent export counterparts: • The PRO3100 = CDM750 • The PRO5100 = CDM1250 • The PRO7100 = CDM1550 Be advised that is you have one of the PRO5150 Elite radios, it does use the standard programming cables for these radios, but you need one of the newer versions of CPS to read and write to the radio. It looks like some of the older versions can read the radio, but it cannot write back to the radio.

A programming cable tip for the Professional Series: ' Just a tip for the Pro series programming cable. Ever have the thumbscrew fall out?

Programming

It's supposed to be captive, but it's captivated by threads on the plastic housing. The plastic threads can wear out. To keep from loosing the thumbscrew - go in with some really pointed cutters and remove a little of the plastic that the threaded part of the thumbscrew goes thru. Then put the thumbscrew back in and screw a really small 4-40 nut onto the thumbscrew. If you have removed enough plastic, the nut should screw on far enough to be out of the way.

You can sometimes find tiny 4-40 nuts at a hobby shop.' A programming tip for the Professional Series: ' Reading the radios worked fine, but when writing to them, the radio would lock up after programming. After spending a lot of time with Motorola System Support, it was found that Pin 12 (BOOT CONTROL) on the radio end of the RKN-4074 RIB cable should be disabled (unsoldered or removed) when using a SmartRIB. Once this pin was unsoldered, everything works as it is supposed to.'

NOTE: At this time, we are not aware of any way to program an export version radio with the RSS for a domestic version radio, or vice versa. These mobile radios also use the same RSS as the portables (HT750/1250/1550), as long as it is version R.03.00.01 or newer (HVN9025D). You cannot clone a portable and to a mobile. It must all be typed in manually the first time.

Some users of these portable radios are having issues with coverage, see this on the problem. The Pro Series radios have a 'region byte' that is set by the Distribution Center (DC) in Atlanta. The byte determines what band splits the radio will accept via the RSS. We believe only two different bytes are used, that is, Americas and Rest of the World (ROW).

Radios programmed with the Americas byte are programmable to the FCC approved and type accepted ranges for North America. The Rest of the World radios have a more open band range.

Anyone know where the region byte is located and what the values are? Field ProgrammingIn the Pro Series CPS, in the Help menu it clearly states that the 'edit' feature is for a Multi-line display radio (HT1550/PRO9150) is for field programming of the TX frequency, the RX frequency, the RX tone, if any, and the TX tone, if any.
