BPR40d Read/Write Issues

[little-hoot]

Hello all,

We are working on programming new BPR40d and have run into a read issue.

We have the proper CPS direct from the Motorola web site, "BPR 40d CPS, R02.03" and are using two programing cables; one USB direct to 2.5mm cables from BlueMax49ers and one older Motorola USB to Serial 9pin <-> 9 pin to 2.5mm.

Any time we try to read we get the following error "No device detected. Please check the connection and try again".

• We have double checked com ports.
• We have tried two different cables.
• We have tried two different computers.
• We have uninstalled CPS and reinstalled CPS.
• We have tried multiple radios.
• We have tried the old Analog BPR40 trick of Programming Button 1

Any advice on working with BPR40d?

1. Turn radio off.
2. Hold down programmable button 1.
3. Turn on radio and listen for 3 beeps.
4. Release P1, LED should be green.
5. Now read and write as you wish.

We shall see shortly. Apparently there is a different cable for the "d" model. It is the same cable as the CP185 programming cable.

Since we don't do a lot of work with Motorola's, the learning curve is steep! I don't even want to talk about CP200 firmware upgrades just to get the digital license entitlement to load! The MOL forum vs the My View forum??? How do Motorola dealers/techs keep up with this?

Do you have the proper drivers for your USB cable installed? You may have to download specific drivers if you have an aftermarket cable.

I’ve done this multiple times on my CP185 but it does absolutely nothing. The only feature that it does anything is when I hold down P1 on the front and turn it on, the radio says master for a few seconds and then switches to time out and does nothing. Not sure what the problem is but I can’t get it to read the radio and I’ve tried 4 or 5 different cables.

Did you ever get this resolved? I just received a Bearcom BC300D which is clone of the BPR40d and I'm running into the same issue with it. Thanks for any insight.
