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.
Codeplug mismatch error

Did you read the radio first then modify that codeplug? Or is the codeplug from a radio with a different FLASHcode/serial #? Did you recently update firmware and the codeplug you're modifying in CPS is an older version?

It means you’re trying to write to the radio with a codeplug that belongs in a different radio.
Almost 1 year and you still can’t program it???

Read the radio, make your changes, then write back.

Or he's trying to write a saved codeplug to a radio that has been updated, and there has been codeplug structure changes, that the old codeplug doesn't match
Are you allowed to Clone the radio using the cloning feature as the other CPS allows for the previous series radios? If so, try the cleaning feature.

Flash and firmware must match I believe
The firmware never needed to match to clone. Used to be the model # and FLASH needed to match exactly, however MSI has relaxed that restriction with APX CPS recently. In many cases you are now able to clone from an equal or lesser capable radio into an equal or more capable radio, regardless of the model # or FLASH. So if you have a 6000AN and a 6000BN with roughly the same FLASH, the BN will probably accept the AN's codeplug with a clone operation.
And if all else fails, just read the target radio, open two instances of APX CPS, and do a top level drag-n-drop of the entire codeplug, then sort out whatever invalid fields might pop up. Easy peasy.
