Error 512 on PR400 Radio

[kprinkki]

I just got my software and hardware from Motorola to program my radios and I cannot connect to them. I get an Error # 512. I am using the correct Com port - settings of 9600, 8, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Control. I have the RIB, the programming cable AAPMKN4004A. I am using Windows 7 Pro - 64 bit. My version of CPS is 5.13.

Can anyone help me out? I think I am just missing something obvious...

Thanks in advance.

I don't believe it will work on 64 bit. I have the later version and still no go.

Double post, sorry.

CPS 5.13 works fine on my Windows 7 64 bit desktop using a Wiscomm USB cable.

However the software sometimes seems to forget which COM port I'm telling it to use. Every now and then when I first open the program and try to read/write a radio, I will get the 512 Error. My solution to this is to go to Edit --> Preferences and select a random COM port (not the correct one), click OK; then immediately go back and select the correct one. This seems to "reset" the software into using the correct port (the one I originally had selected) and it works fine after that.

I have no idea if this will work for anybody else but you might want to give it a try.

Also, are you using a USB-Serial converter, or an actual serial port?

I tried the COM port trick thing, but to no success.

I have tried both options. I installed on a laptop with a USB-to-COM adapter and no success, so I installed on my desktop with a direct COM port on it, with same results.

I will see if I can find a 32 bit machine and try it.
