• 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.

Early CP100d?

I was shown a pic of a CP100d tag with a 278TVH11xx serial number, model AAH87YDC9JA2AN, FW ver R01.01.30.0003, S/T PMUE4526AAAAAA, but no FCc logo and no FCC ID or similar. That's an April 2019 manufacture date, right?

I did some hunting and it looks like people started talking about CP100d here and elsewhere in summer 2020. When were they first shipped? Were they made/sold outside the U.S. for some time before that (though they should have a different model prefix, right)?

Looking at the history of FCC ID AZ489FT4953 (the IDs on current production), they appear to have been approved September 4, 2019. The test docs show a radio with a 278TVH00xx serial number, model LAH87YDC9JA2AN, FW ver R01.01.40.0003, S/T PMUE4526BAALAA, with the FCC ID AZ489FT4953 and various other IDs that are LatAm related. I.e., it's a Latin America radio with a later FW version, but slightly earlier S/N sequence than the pic I saw.

AZ489FT4953 is the only FCC ID I can find for the UHF CP100d. Is it odd that the radio they tested and submitted is the LatAm version?

Anyone know about what the timeline looks like in general (and for the CP100d in particular) for new models in Motorola production? Do they do a small production run and then submit radios for testing and file for approval, and what's supposed to happen with those radios? Are these "engineering samples" allowed to escape into the wild, or are they supposed to get smashed like the other lab radios (that we've heard about escaping the crushers)?

Or is this some kind of gray-market or counterfeit thing?
