• 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.

I have a Bearcom BC300d which I would have thought would be programmed with BPR40d CPS but I haven't been able to get the radio to Read with the CPS. I have was also told by someone on Facebook that Bearcom had there own CPS for this radio but wanted to check here first before trying to contact them. Thanks

I believe that is a MagOne BPR40 that has been relabeled.

S/W should be Motorola CPS item number RVN5081D

That's what I figured but I have tried it on two different computers but can't seem to get it to work with BPR40d.

BPR40 and BPR40d are different.

For the BPR40, use PMDN4043CR on a "real" serial port and "Mag One CPS" R02.01 dated 2007.

For the BPR40d, use PMDN4077A (also works for CP185) and "BPR40d CPS" R02.03 dated 2021.

IIRC, for one or both, hold down button 1 while turning on and release quickly after first beep (or something like that).
