When I try and upload the codeplug on the left to my radio I receive this error. I have tried to copying method but when I drag it wont copy. Appreciate everyones help here!

This should really be in the Motorola forum as it is not a general scanner question. You will get better answers there. Just click on the report button and ask for it to be moved for you.

Done. I was in the process of doing that.

Try again with drag and drop. Won't ever directly write to a radio the serial does not match. Clone is likely out, if the flash is different. Click on the Tree icon, and hold. Give it a little movement to the right you should see a little box icon under the arrow. Drop it on the tree icon on the right instance, and it should copy over. Let us know if it works

Hey it's not working. I appreciate everyone's help with this. Any other options?

Out of curiosity you're not trying to clone a uhf to a vhf are you or vice versa

Your new codeplug was not created with your radio serial/model number.
Very first step creating new codeplugs is entering the serial number for the specific radio it will go into.
You can drag and drop the rest of the personality either way as long as the destination codeplug is not key locked.
That key lock is optional but once set, it makes it read only without the key.
The radio SN is that line at the top of the tree. The codeplug will only program into that specific radio.

You cant just enter a serial number? He needs to do a top level drag and drop vs cloning.

Sorry,,been there/done that. (more times that were needed)
Never had drag and drop work but copy and paste works fine.
OR, if you know different speak up and be specific.

I never could get drag and drop to work, I resort to copy/paste.
Open Depot > select tools > scroll down to "create new codeplug" a window pops up,
so what is the first entry ?

That is how I start skeleton codeplugs. Only need one for each radio.
I have a good hundred codeplugs, not a one of them will program into my radio, Error "wrong serial number"
Good for reference though.

Please don’t discuss Depot here.

One issue I always had with drag and drop in cps is the scan lists never fully drag and dropped over. Everything else did, or maybe it was the clone radio feature that did this. I know it was one but would have to manually set the scan lists into the other radio. It was very odd.

Drag and drop is not perfect but it can help you get "most" of what you want done. After drag and drop then just fix the issues that pop up.

Best thing to do here is drag/drop the systems, then the scan lists (you'll get errors because the referenced channels aren't there, just set the channels to "unassigned" and move on); next you drag/drop the personalities, then the zones. Finally, drag/drop (one at a time) the scan lists; as you're dragging, hover it over the destination scan list and you'll be asked to add before, after or overwrite. Select overwrite and the scan list will be written with channels intact. It's worked for me for years.
