Looking for the driver, thanks.

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.

Wow apparently this is unobtainium?
It’s been located.
Hello, would you be interested in helping with some troubleshooting for a CS7000 on R02A26. Showing INV SYS and can't load a pers/codeplug into it. Using R14C05. Codeplug was pulled from a working radio. Also, have a few of these with what are likely power supply failures as per what some other posts have described. Thanks!
Can you put the radio into program mode from the menu? And are you using serial or the USB to program? Can you read the radio?
It doesn't usually work like that. The extracted codeplug would have to be from an exact model with the same features. the firmware has to be the same as with the DSP
A system error, my guess is a valid system and set was not programmed correctly in RPM.
If you can open the personality file (read from radio or file) you can see where the problem is.
I run into a lot of radios where the personality has been de-channeled when removed from service.
Those are onlygoo for a template or better, starting from scratch with a new personality.
It's not FTDI, it's a Texas Instruments chip.
Thanks to everyone for the fast and informative replies! Currently busy with the portables for a fleet wide codeplug update and will look into the CS7000 again at some point. For the CS7000, it was just some quick troubleshooting using a Harris spec serial cable but will be trying a standard serial cable. Which appears to be missing from the shop... However, was able to read a couple of serviceable radios on the rack but had issues with the ones sitting loose under a table. Did not know it could be set to pgm menu from the faceplate though, gotta rtfm a bit more. Have also emailed the local Harris shop to ask for the firmware since there are no backups here... From the various posts here on the CS7000, it sure sounds like these radios are a bit finicky with power and firmware. Have a quote for the service manuals too, nice and pricey...
Cheers, Ed

You are certainly correct about the INV SYS error. Have run into that problem with portables. The local service shop has noted some problems with missing features on portables/mobiles sent in for repair. However with the limited labelling and records here, I figure that the particular in service CS7000 that was extracted/read from and the one particular problem radio that will still power on is of the same specs/features. The firmware is to be confirmed once I have more time with the rack mounted radios. The problem radio has R02A26 which I have reached out to determine if this should be updated.
There are definitely some devices in this fleet that were missed as part of a life cycle upgrade before my time. And yes had that thought about fresh codeplugs/personality file
Cheers,
Ed

XGP R02A26 is very old, current version will be XLP R06M03.
INV SYS means you are trying to do something the radio isn't feature-enabled for. Most likely candidates are too many SYSGRPs, encryption enabled on a system or the radio doesn't have trunking enabled.
