• 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.

Hello . Does anybody knows how to program out of band the following model : MOTOROLA CP180 ( MDH65KDH9AA4AN ) 146-174 MHZ ? I understand that CP040 can be tricked by changing some data in codeplug as follows :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The task: Program CP040 H50KDC9AA1AN 146-174 at 145.500 MHz.
Read radio with CPS and save file codeplug.cps.
Open file codeplug.cps in HexWorkshop, find Hex "BBA5A5A5A5A5A5".
You will find it three times.
First entry is "A4A5A6BBA5A5A5A5A5A5". It is Motorola VHF Base frequency - 103.000000 MHz.
Second entry is "A4A1A3BBA5A5A5A5A5A5". It is lower limit - 146.000000 MHz.
Third entry is "A4A2A1BBA5A5A5A5A5A5". It is upper limit - 174.000000 MHz.
So alphabet seems as follows:
A1 = 4
A2 = 7
A3 = 6
A4 = 1
A5 = 0
A6 = 3
AD = 8
BB = "."
Change lower limit to "A4A1A1..." and save file.
Open file with CPS , enter frequences and program radio. Save codeplug on disk.

Problems: Radio possible to program ONLY ONCE.
Radio works orderly, but is not read and is not programmed by CPS.
Needed to save data from EEPROM IC and restore at need of reprogramming,
or use Radio Firmware Kit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you.

Messing arround with the codeplug is too painfull. read up on hexing the >exe from batlabs.The basic steps can be learned from reading the Gp300 page. Once you have the concept read the spectra page and then use the info there to mod the CP180 exe.

Try the old trick of typing the frequency numbers with the shift key held down. Don't hold the shift key for the period, just for the numbers. It works on some radios and not on others.
