Ht1250 Program Help needed

[xxbryantd]

I need help with my ht1250 VHF radio. Im using a programming usb I found on ebay, and purchased CPS R06.12.05 programming. Im able to read info from the radio using ComTool.exe which displays all my radio info. See attachment. I select come port, and click read radio. This message shows up "Couldnt open port. Check whether device/rib are powered on or not, and device to rib, and the rib to pc connection is ok'

Make sure your drivers are good with the cord.

If its the PL2303 driver, I tried to uninstall completely and reinstall current updated driver.

What cable are you using? Motorola CPS will not play nice with some of the off brand cables. Especially prolific.

Think my would be an off brand. How do I know which cable will work with cps?

Personnaly I own a Prolific Cable and don't have any issue with it. I have a fleet of 32 HT1250LS+ and I programmed all of the with the same cable. Take a look carefully if the driver is the good one for you cable. Then open your Device Manager from the control panel and under USB or COM port look at which port your Prolific-to-USB is. I.e. COM4. Then go back in CPS and when you click on read, select the good port. If this still not work, your cable is maybe dead. I had to open a claim on ebay for a cdm1550 usb programming cable. The seller ship me a new one (same model and everything) and when I'd plug it everything was fine. If you need more advanced support you can contact me by private messaging

If you do as paramedicqc suggested, you should be able to resolve the issue. It's important to make sure the right driver is installed and also match the com port the cable is assigned to in the computer to the com port that CPS is set to use.

Are you running Windows 10? If so, you need to rollback your Prolific driver to version 3.2.x.x.

Win 10 always wants to install the newest drivers for any device. The newer Prolific drivers detect cloned chips and won't run them. Any version 3.2.x.x driver doesn't do that. There are several previous threads about this with much greater detail and specific instructions.

It's not a Motorola problem, and it's sort of not a cable problem. It's the combination of a cloned Prolific chip and Windows 10. Any cable of any kind that uses a cloned Prolific chip will have this problem under Win 10.

Or you can also run a virtual machine under win XP to avoid any compatibility problems

This did it for me! Thanks
