Help finding m1225 software

[jbecraft]

Trying to do this on the up and up.... I have a box of m1225-ls radios I would like to make a couple into a repeater.... cost is a factor so I'd rather program myself... I have seen they are discontinued and the software is available for download on Motorola but where I can access I cant find it and someplace I cant get past the registration cause I don't have a company email... I think I have seen it on ebay, but not sure which to get.... help?

Motorola protects their software and it requires an account with the big M, even for discontinued radios. If it is on ebay, it violates M rules. The cost from M will negate any cost factor you have. Read the information above your post for the rules of RR.

I DID read the rules... thought i was within the guidelines... NOT looking for free... looking for HELP finding where/how to obtain it legit... and I have read on multiple forums that since m1225 was discontinued is so out dated CPS 4.0 (from what i can tell is the software) is available for download with an account, which I am trying to sign up for...

so i am basically outta luck, after a lengthy conversation with this nice guy name martinaz i believe...in product support, they no longer have software to reprogram these radios as it was discontinued in 2004...he did give me a old number of HVN-9054

It is still available, for free, from MOL.

I just pulled this screen shot from my account.

 

[jbecraft]

That says m1255... is it the same?

That bottom line is a typo. Look at the top one.

 

[jbecraft]

Yup saw that after....

I guess I am just lost, I found this area....but no software

That isn't MOL. Did they ever approve you for an account?

 

[mikewazowski]

That's the new and improved MOL.

Luckily the old MOL still works for most of us.

 

[MTS2000des]

and is the O/P's account authorized for CPS downloads? If not, than nothing will be available, including the discontinued stuff like M1225, Quantar, Vertex-Standard, etc.

That looks like a screenshot from the new accessory shop. Are they transitioning that to be the new MOL?

OMG, less than a minute on google and I downloaded this old software....good grief!

But is it the latest one (4.0) like the one from moto? Because all those old ones that come up in a google search are a headache to get to work.

Just an FYI: the 4.0 version of that RSS will not allow you to program OOB frequencies by using the Shift key hack. BTDT

Is this what it would look like?

As MTS2000des said above, go here: https://businessonline.motorolasolutions.com

If you don't currently have an MOL account you must register for one which will take a while. . . If you create an account now it will probably be sometime in June before it will be activated for you. Then you will have to read and agree to the CPS license agreement before you can access software on your account. That could also take several days.
