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.

Sounds like a low battery beep. I suggest you get a regulated power supply and one rated to handle the power needs of the CDM1250.
Same thing happens to my CDM in the car is I use it with the car turned off and the battery voltage drops below around 12V.

Is your CDM1250 a 25 watt model or 45-50 watt model? Frequency range? If you don't know, please post the model number - should start AAM25 - it will be on the bottom of the radio.
Also, are you using a Motorola power supply or after market? If Motorola, let us know the model number of the supply, please. Should be 3 letters, 4 numbers, and at least one letter on the end. If after market, let us know the amperage capacity.
It might also be helpful to know if you have just an AC to 12vdc power supply, or if the supply involves batteries and possibly a UPS.
The CDM family of radios is pretty robust so in cases like yours, it is normal to check outside the radio first.

Take the nominal RF power output of your radio (in watts); divide by 10 (to get amps); multiply by 3; and that is the minimum size power supply you should use.

I have no creator rights; this is a rule of thumb that has been around since cans and string and was taught to me, er, a long time ago.
