CPS error code: ecec000c

[ffhess]

hello,
i've had this cps on my vista computer. it worked good. i recently upgraded my computer to windows 7. today i tried to change some freq in my radio, and recieved the error code "ecec00c". i shut of the radio and turned it back on and tried again. then it says "couldn't open port. check whether devis is powered on or not."

i'm using a rib-less usb cable. i'm also using cps R06.11.10. i'm trying to program my motorola HT1250.

has anyone ever had this happen before?

thanks for any help.

If you are using the 64 bit version of Windows 7, the Professional Series CPS will not work properly.

This is well documented and discussed at great length in previous threads here and over on the batboard.

At this time, there is no work around for the problem. Even folks using 32 bit Windows 7 and Vista computers report varying success.

The best hardware for programming using the Professional Series CPS remains a Win98 or XP computer with a real serial port. None of the potential problems using USB to serial converters happen, and the software just plain works on these computers.

I had a similar problem and had to re-install the cps. After that it worked aok.
Something got corrupted and the re-install corrected it.

If the hardware platform is running a 64bit o/s, it won't work no matter what you do. IF it does, please tell us your hardware platform and which o/s you are running.

Strange that 1225 software runs fine on Win7 64bit but HT/CDM cps doesn't......

i initally had a 32 bit vista os. when i upgraded my os i installed windows 7 32 bit.
i have tried to uninstall and reinstall. i bought my cable for vista. could the driver for the usb cable not be compatible with win 7?

i have recieved another code after reinstalling for the 5th time. ecec0006. great fun.....

And the Commercial Series CPS does too.

What is the BRAND and model of the USB to serial adapter you are using. Your computer doesn't have a direct hard-wired serial port?

The ATEN UC-232 USB to serial adapter is the most reliable, and it is the one that Kenwood supplies with their programming cables.

Your alternative is a PCMCIA serial card, if your laptop still has the slot for one. I am assuming you have a laptop, since most PCs have a serial port.

Not sure if this helps or not but im using Windows 7 32bit and the software works just fine. I did have to edit the registry to get the software to allow all CPGs from all regions but other than that it works just fine. However, I have yet to upload to the radio thats still being shipped lol

I have varying degrees of success getting different versions of CPS to run under Windows 7. One thing I've had to do is run under a compatibility mode, such as XP or Win98. And it varies with CPS versions, rev levels, and specific PC's. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind what works and what doesn't.
